You migt want to take a look at the site of matrix orbital as well. They have character lcd screens to which you can hook up such a Dallas 1-wire temp sensor.

CAT5 is a standard networking cable. Works great for Dallas 1-Wire.

I still don't understand the obsession with the computer temperature...I would much rather have the air temperature outside and inside the car - much more useful and practical.
