You should check out Servers Alive - http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/.
They have a free version for up to 10 checks (IE: 10 IP pings, 10
service checks on one server, etc). I use it, and you can output to
HTML. It is pretty nice, and the run-as-a-service-bit is better now in
the later versions.

adwatch which allows it to sit in the tray and watch things (kind of gets
annoying sometimes with popups but is still neat). I would recommend
