Thanks Jukka,
that looks interesting - though it's not an out-of-the-box solution. I
will do my homework and read into it. I guess its exactly what I was
looking for.

Temp sensors I have for sure, I can read the temp and fan speed via
mbmon. I just wonder how to test the powerd thing with all the 
scripts - I dont want to boil some processors ;)
