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
