Phil already made some good suggestions, some additional ideas:

If you don't care about the quality of the RNG, you could just inject
data from /dev/urandom into your entropy-pool:
rngd -r /dev/urandom

If you need a cheap, good solution:

In case your server isn't locked away in a datacenter, you might also
want to try video/audio entropy sources,
