Dallas 1-wire could be the solution you want, but from want you have said don't but the weather station.  Buy the temp sensors, these connect via CAT 5 and some one (sorry can't remember who) has built a 1-wire hub they sell to avoid having to daisy chain the sensors - you could always do a combination.  There is loads of software available to do want you want, or you could write something your self.  I will try and dig out some urls for you.

I'm also interested.

I checked Oregon Scientific site and they have some models which have wireless connections with probes, so no wiring is necessary.

I just need a way to connect them to PC.

Some of them, like WMR-918 have serial interface, but that model costs £500 plus I need a software.

I'm sure there must be cheaper solution.

I would like to monitor temperature in each room, not rainfall, pressure etc...

And I would like to be able to process that data on PC, so I don't want to pay for nice looking, expensive LCD screens.

That data can later be used for heat control of each room, or I can just set up display and alerts.

Anyone knows for anything like that?

Most of the Weather stations have restriction of 3 or 4 probes, and I would like to have more...

I like the look of most of the stations I've seen in this thread. 
All I'd like to do at the moment is the wiring.  What have people
used (how many, what type etc, any restrictions like distance?)

Thanks

Ben
