I also recommend Keyclick, to give me auditory feedback for keystrokes (http://www.sustworks.com/site/prod_keyclick_overview.html).

I've tried 'em all and this is the only one that has been so unobtrusive that I haven't ditched it. Also, three cheers for Caffeine, InsomniaX (for those times when you need to shut the lid on your Mac but don't want the music to go!). I actually use smcFan Control in addition to iStat menus; the smc tile puts the temp on top of the fan speed, halving the real estate of the two iStats. In that vein, I also love SlimBatteryMonitor, which is pretty self-explanatory.. Second nod for Meteo.

Weatherbug is pretty good, but <a href="http://heat-meteo.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">Meteo</a> is even better. Open source, more options, consumes less resources, less buggy. Caffeine is great.
