[time-nuts] What do people use for measuring temperature?

[Bob Albert]

 It would appear that the HP 3456A in temperature mode would meet your needs.  The 5k thermistor is very cheap.  The temperature resolution is very small, as I recall perhaps 0.001 degree but not sure.  You can log manually or via GPIB.  Don't think its accuracy is anywhere near its resolution but it's great for relative readings.

I've got a collection of 1-wire gizmos and USB thumb drives.  They are great 
for many applications but I'm looking for something better/different.

I'd like something that reads to 0.01 degree or 0.001 degree.  I don't need 
accuracy.  What I want is reasonable linearity so I can make pretty graphs.

I'd like the actual probe to be small enough so I can poke it inside gear like 
a PC and attach it to a crystal.

I'm looking for a USB or serial connection so I can log the data.

Is there an obvious brand/whatever I should be looking at? thermistor? 
thermocouple?  ...

I don't care about a display on the device.  I don't want a logger, they fill 
up.  I want to grab the data on the fly and do my own logging.  (But I'm happy 
to use a logger if it will do what I want.)
