Personally, I've used and recommend this USB stick: http://www.entropykey.co.uk/
not sure how much others care about server entropy in general. however, after reading this: http://strugglers.net/~andy/blog/2010/06/06/adventures-in-entropy-part-1/ i'm basically sold on that entropykey. $30 for a entropy through electron tunneling with tons of failsafes.... wow. i might just have to get two so i can nail the other to a frame, hang it on a wall and geek out every now and again :)
