My favorite *cheap* temperature sensor kit might interest you:

http://www.electronics123.com/s.nl/sc.14/category.35/it.A/id.379/.f

Up to four sensors with a very simple ASCII output that you can easily log
to a file, for less than $20.

You might also look at the One-Wire weather instruments from AAG
