The AD592 ( analog.com ) should be relatively noise free over reasonable distances. 1.0 uA/degree K. Bias it with something between 4 and 20 V and use a current to voltage converter near the computer. The time constant is pretty good if in flowing air and even better with a small Al heat sink.

I need to monitor compost pile temperature and thought the above might work. Wireless with a solar panel (and irrigation control) would be good too. Hacking a GPIO pin or two, or a serial port might take some effort so its lower on my vast todo list. I'll be interested if someone comes up
