I am looking for a temperature probe..

The purpose, is I bought a silent enclosure for a hard drive. So the
hard drive is sealed tight in this air tight box. The box has a little
slit for wires to come out. And I will place the temperature probe`s
wires through there and take a reading from the temp probe`s display.

The reading end of the temperature probe - the end in the case -
should be like a pad, to get some surface area on the hard drive.

Does anybody have any suggestions of what type of temperature probe to
get(what it is called) and/or where I can buy it?

I tried maplin(well known uk electronics place), they said they do not
have anything appropriate.

Actually I bought the bits for mine from Maplin ! You want a bead
thermistor. Mine was 5K. Then just use the Ohms range of a
multimeter. Calibrate it with boiling water and Ice.
