Good idea!  - I could even remove some off some old ISA bus NIC's that I
was
going to throw (give!) away...

I plan t  solder the DS1820's directly t  a short length of CAT5 cable,
with
an RJ45 plug crimped on the other end, so I can plug them in t  any CAT5
outlet in the house. (I've just put 2 x 4-port faceplates in the master
bedroom - thanks James!)

I may als  mount the DS1820's in something as well, but I'm not sure what
yet... (anyone remember "plasticraft") - obviously it needs t  be
something
which won't have too much of an insulating effect, but I would like to
protect the legs on them...
