hmm i found Pingdom GIGRIB while yahoo'in.

What is Pingdom GIGRIB?
Pingdom GIGRIB is a unique, distributed website monitoring service. GIGRIB users can add websites they want monitored, and in return their computers become a part of the GIGRIB monitoring network.

How it works
Pingdom GIGRIB users are all part of a large monitoring network. When you install the GIGRIB client, your computer becomes one of the many “test nodes” that report uptime for multiple websites to a central location. In return, all Pingdom GIGRIB users have the right to add ten websites that will be monitored by the network.

For every hour of work your GIGRIB client does for the Pingdom GIGRIB network, you get an additional five hours of uptime checks for the websites you yourself have added. You can accumulate up to 30 days of monitoring this way, ideal if you go on a vacation and will have your computer turned off for days.

Have you tried Hotscripts.com?
Search for 'site monitor'. You'll find some very good (and free) scripts. This is one that I and another person have written: http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/38137.html
