    The one's on the tomsgadgets link above don't need to be plugged in to use. They have a battery and record the temperature every X number of minutes. You then plug it in and download the data.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Just to reassure the OP. I have one of the loggers appearing on tomsgadgets (Lascar EL-USB 1) and haven't had any problems using it with XP and now Windows 7 64bit. The battery is a bit of an unusual size but easy enough to find online.

    the easiest is a webcam pointing at a normal thermometer.

    You do get ip based room thermometers (climate control monitor), we used them at work in our data centres. Much more than £500 though.

    Exactly what I thought and was about to post! Cheapest option as well I would of thought!
