Temperature Sensors

Hi Henry:
Are their any plans to make a LCD readout that can read temperatures from sensors that you can place on hardware inside your PC. I would still like it to be able to display info from the serial port but be able to give me temperature readings from my own sensors. The sensors would be Dallas Semiconductor DS18b20 or DS1822 barrel type (3 wire)that can be place mostly anywhere in a PC. I think you can wire up to 32 sensors on one line to read temps. I am not talking about reading temps from the onboard motherboard sensors via the serial port and MBM software. The onboard sensors are not accutrate at all an I would never rely on those for temp reading. I want something that is hardwired to the actual component of my choice and is independent from the computer as far as temp readings go.
A competitor has such a device (633) but it only comes in the green display which I do not like.
I want a LCD display that I can choose the color display, be able to display computer info (via serial connection) and to take my own temperature readings with hardwired sensors. All this in a in a 5.25 bay with faceplate.
