The goal is not to monitor PC hardware, but to communicate with external devices. For example, the are number of microcontrollers equiped with I2C interface. Thus such a self-made adapter that costs only few dollars would be handy for a electronics hobbyist. Nowadays new PCs, especially laptops, do not have serial port, but a low cost USB-Serial converter in conjuction with the device does the job.
