Cheap way to measure the ambient temperature in my room?

[AndyD2k]

I'm trying to see how much an effect my ambient room temp is having on my PC. Is there any cheap way of doing this? Otherwise, I'll probably get something like this...

which measures the temp both inside and outside. I would rather not spend $50 though

Just get a cheap thermometer from a dollar store or something.

That's the way I have done it for years. Works great! You can even get free ones with advertising on them. Get two and mount one outside by a window and you can check inside and outside temps.

I guess I like to over complicate things and think of the obvious - thanks guys

just get a cheap one from home depot with those nice big numbers, beats reading the tiny numbers on a thermometer. It's also safer to work with
