Cacti and Nagios uses snmp, I believe and nagios is quite extensive and flexible IMO. Not sure if it is overkill for your needs or hard to setup but I used it for my 13+ home systems. Quite nice and it lets me know immediately if a system is down or if resources are being depleted. You can use pagers and email notification and perhaps send a message to your cell phone.
