I'll look into it. I am planning on making a custom HWiNFO configurator so I might be able to make a solution that will work for this.

Then it could be interesting to notify user too. Best possible solution seems to send email. The more simple solution could be to create desktop notifications, but make sure they do not autohide.

HDD temperature is already in. The other two I'm not going to deal with, because end-of-life for a hard drive is an extremely rare event, and odds are you'll replace that hard drive before it goes bad anyway.

Well, this can be a rare event in your experience, but hdd is the most failing component for computer. I usually replace hdd as soon as I get first uncorrectable bad blocks. This is especially important for servers.
