Description
[[http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/conky|Conky]] is a great very flexible system monitor that can display any number of hardware aspects (CPU temp, GPU temp, HDD temp, load, processes, etc). As it stands right now, all the deps for conky are currently available in the LH repos so it would only be the conky package that needs entry.

Added.
Please provide a configuration file to include with the pkg.

Here is my profile I'm using on my main desktop. It isn't appropriate for general use. Profiles by their nature are HIGHLY personal and system specific. Mine is written for a quad core CPU for example, two hdds, an nvidia gpu, an Intel P35 chipset, etc. Additionally, for the temp monitoring to work, both hddtemp and lmsensors need to be installed (sorry I didn't think about these two when I originally opened the ticket for conky). On the plus side, rrdtool will require both of them so this isn't something w/ limited appeal.
Additional generic profiles are available from the conky homepage, but again, they will very likely need to be customized to each user's preferences/hardware.

The very simple one provided by Conky will be good enough.
