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.
