Needing a windowed system monitor that include temps

Hello,

I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Edition on my family's 4 netbooks. Sadly (and a big mistake in my opinion?), I can't add a temp monitoring applet to my panel, but that's not really the point. I am needing a way to monitor my computer temps that includes a graph (kinda like a CPU usage monitoring graph).

Any suggestions? I really need this ability because I have another regular laptop that overheats at times and I would like to see the history without using a script to do it via text and logging.

With thanks,
Nathan

NAME
gnome-system-monitor - view system processes and monitor system usage on your computer SYNOPSIS
gnome-system-monitor [gnome-std-options] DESCRIPTION
The System Monitor application displays a list of system processes, and monitors system usage. System Monitor shows which processes are running and how the processes are related. System Monitor also provides detailed information about individual processes, and enables the user to control which processes are running. System Monitor displays how much processor (CPU) capacity the system is using, and how much disk space the system is using on each device. System Monitor displays this information in a graphical interface so that users can see what the system is doing. Users can then use the same graphical interface to modify the behavior of the system. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: gnome-std-options Standard options available for use with most GNOME applications. See gnome-std-options(5) for more information. OPERANDS
