This is my CONKY file for those who'd like to try it. Be aware this uses the configs to tie into the APC daemon so you do have to have that set up, otherwise comment it out or if on a laptop, change to the closest settings for that. Temps use Sensors so be sure it is there and set up. I believe its lm-sensors that has to be installed?
Code:

-- Starting with version 1.10, conky config is following lua format; there are several changes.
-- all configuration items end with a trailing comma.
-- all string variables are enclosed in single quotes.
-- all boolean responses are now true/false instead of yes/no
-- also notice that comments are two dashes and a space
-- until you get into the text area, where # still works.
-- here we go...
