At Home Depot they have Indoor/Outdoor Themometers for $10 and up. These are little boxes with a digital readout that tells you the temperature indoors and out. They do this by having a little sensor attached by a wire that you run out a window to the outside. Since the sensor is designed to be waterproof, I don't see why you couldn't use it submerged in water.
I made my water cooling system with a "T" attached to the line feeding the pump. (I got the idea from an article in the watercooling section) Attached to the "T" is a fill tube.
You could feed the sensor and wire down the feed tube to the "T", here it would report the temperature back to the readout, which you could have mounted on the outside of your case so you have your room temperature and your water temperature.
P.S. They have these Indoor/Oudoor thermometers everywhere, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Radio Shack, etc. Make sure that your'e getting a sensor with an attached probe, however. The newer thermometers have a separate box that you place outside to tell you the temperature, but these are not suitable for our use.
