That's about what I had decided, but I've run into posts from folks  
running lm_sensors with MythTV. I think that would have worked if  
they had a mobo that used ISA access type sensors, but I'm  not ready  
to replace the motherboard just to measure temps.

Guess I'll just continue putting my hand by the exhaust fan and  
seeing how warm it feels :-)
