Just out of curiosity, isn't a MiniGoose with 3 external sensors ( ~ 
$250 ) worth less than an afternoon of your time?
    http://www.itwatchdogs.com/MiniGooseDSheet.htm

(I don't work for itwatchdogs, just the "cheap temp sensor at hand"  
kind of query)

Don't get me wrong, I like to make my own stuff.  But I also prefer  
to balance my time against the cost, and itwatchdogs stuff is cheap  
enough to allow me to not waste time...
