Are there any easy to use snmp(mainly temperature monitoring) tools around for Centos -4? This is on a Dell sc420 server.

There are the snmp tools mrtg (included) and cacti (available from dag's site: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/cacti/ ).
Using those specifically for temperature ... I don't. I use cacti for processor usage, memory usage, bandwidth, etc.
Cacti is much easier to setup and use (in my opinion) that mtrg.
Once you get cati running ...
Google search with these parameters shows lots of stuff:
site:forums.cacti.net cacti temperature snmp
would i have to isntall mysql as well?

The problem is the Dell sensor setup is proprietary.
I have Dell 1600sc 's and 2850 's. I have never been able to get lm_sensors to work on them. Many hours spent with kernel rebuilds, etc. I finally just settled on installing the Dell system management tool "omreport". Works really good and easy to install. Just follow the docs on the CD.
Note. I don't install the secure http server. I just install the chassis reporting tools. You can monitor all the temps, fans, etc from the command line. There is a lot more info available using their omreport tool.
If you really need the snmp piece you will have to setup a windows management box.
omreport -? to see a list of options.

I'm a little confused by your message. Do you want to monitor the Dell remotely via SNMP or are you after using the Dell to monitor other machines via SNMP?
If the later I'd agree with others recommendations regarding Cacti. I use it to monitor full hardware status, temps etc, of a raft of Dell servers (although it took some setting up in terms of creating the necessary SNMP data collection/graphing elements).
In terms of obtaining the temps etc from the Dell servers via SNMP I use the Dell supplied OMSA (http://linux.dell.com/monitoring.shtml). A new version of OMSA is supposedly due this month that supports RHEL 4 and should therefore work on Centos 4.

I like NetMRG (http://www.netmrg.net) for monitoring things via SNMP (or other method like scripts and mysql databases).

I've found that OpenIPMI and IPMITool work quite well, also. OpenIPMI is compiled into the RHEL/CentOS4 kernel, and I've packaged IPMITool here: http://www.silfreed.net/articles/repo
