at work we use nagios (formerly called "netsaint") for an ever-
increasing number of servers, network daemons etc.
it's highly customizable, runs very stable, and plugins for almost
everything (e.g. win32 cpu/memory/disk monitor) either already exist
or you can easily write one in the programming language of your choice
(perl and c plugins are delivered with nagios).

see www.nagios.org for more information.
