Think I could make my fortune?

Plum job for an ST6 or a PIC. Wire it into the loom of the
cpu fan, glue an LM335Z (i think?) temp ic to the little heatsink,
cover it with a tiny sculpted bit of styrofoam to keep it warm.

My main concern is that teensy cpu fan - if it fails, you have no
warning at all, although the heatsink alone should keep the chip
coolish.

Cheers
