How about that? (http://www.voidyourwarranty.net/review/review.php3?r1=xpdiode/index.php3)
Too bad that college just started up again. Looks like a great weekend project when I get settled.

I was working on an analog circuit for reading my thermal diode. I like this a lot! I will build one of these as soon as I can get my hands on that Maxim chip! Thank you very much for the tip!

I think this is a big deal for hardware sites, serious overclockers, and all geeks with an interest in tinkering with electronics. But then again I am probably a little biased :)

Looks like they only sell to companies. Do you (or does anybody) know of anybody who'd be willing to resell them?

Hrmm...very nice. I have several vendors I can order through at work, I wonder if they'd let me order any of these in small quantities for personal use. I'll check into it.

I just spent half the night pouring over several printouts on this, and I think I have a rough idea of how everything needs to be connected. I'll post my findings later on today.
