ESXi3.5 Free Problem

Hey guys, management just signed a client who has 3 ESXi3.5 free server with about 3-4 server each (Nt4, 2k, 2k3 and Linux). The client is pretty on the cheap side so we dont expect them to migrate off this in 2010. They asked me to find monitoring solutions for the client.
Basically we need to know when the prcessor spikes or a HDD fails. Any free/cheap tools/links you are guys are aware of? Ideally something that drops an email to us.
Dropping in a 1u server in there is an option, plenty of space availble there, and we have a few extra just lying around.

+1 Would make managing them easier beyond just monitoring, too.
