But, really, nothing more than that.
Is there something that can be connected via USB to a PC? Or maybe a network devices, wired or wireless, that can serve this purpose? Or, any other relatively inexpensive solution anybody would recommend?


It is not a complete solution, but I have built a few of the K145 sensor boards mentioned on This guy's page and also used his code for a while to log temps. If I can solder something, anyone can.

When it came time to get a more complete solution with email and SNMP we got a couple of units from IT Watchdogs, but then you are talking $200 and up.
