Ubuntu – On Unity: What can replace Gnome 2 system monitoring in the top Panel

gnome-panelindicatorpanelsystem-monitorunity

I'm used to having System monitoring in the top Gnome Panel: CPU, Temperature, Net, Fan-Speed. (see screenshot below)

In Unity, the Top Panel is locked for window name and global menu, so I can't add panel applets.
So my question is:

Is there a way to replace this kind of system monitoring (always visible, taking not much space) in Unity?

Exactly like old gnome indicator: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/network-memory-and-cpu-usage-indicator.html#more

Note from the link: Once installed, launch System Load Indicator from Dash. Unlike the old gnome applets, this is how to add those indicators to the panel.
