I haven't had a chance to try it myself, but how about Arduino?

Environmental Monitoring with Arduino
Building Simple Devices to Collect Data About the World Around Us

This inspiring guide shows you how to use Arduino to create gadgets for measuring noise, weather, electromagnetic interference (EMI), water purity, and more. You’ll also learn how to collect and share your own data, and you can experiment by creating your own variations of the gadgets covered in the book. If you’re new to DIY electronics, the first chapter offers a primer on electronic circuits and Arduino programming.

* Use a special microphone and amplifier to build a reliable noise monitor
* Create a gadget to detect energy vampires: devices that use electricity when they’re “off”
* Examine water purity with a water conductivity device
* Measure weather basics such as temperature, humidity, and dew point
* Build your own Geiger counter to gauge background radiation
* Extend Arduino with an Ethernet shield—and put your data on the Internet

I know there are a lot of widgets out there to monitor the server room
temperature, but can anyone recommend one that is simple to interface
and setup with Linux?

    Thanks!
