An attempt at making exactly what I wanted and thought I should share it, had a great time making it These skins work best on a dark-ish desktop. Obviously, muck around with the colors in 'Settings.inc' and background image (in @Resources folder) to make it work for you.
I liked the idea of having the temperature shown as a ring with the fan 'sleeve' covering and cooling it when they're running.
- Uses HWiNFO for CPU, motherboard and GPU temperatures, FAN speeds and video memory
- Uses UsageMonitor plugin which REALLY brought the CPU usage down, highly recommended

CPU, GPU FANS and TEMPS - You most likely will need to find the correct sensor for your MOBO, CPU and video card and plug it into the @Resources\hwinfo.inc file.
Don't panic! Pul53dr1v3r has a video showing how to do this:
