In the immortal words of Scott McGrath (mcgrath () fas harvard edu):

1 - Purchase a Cesium clock this is a Primary Time/Frequency standard 
    which does not require access to a reference standard to maintain 
    accuracy.

    This is a Stratum 0 source so once placed behind a Unix/Cisco/Juniper
    box you have a stratum 1 source.   This will cost you 30,000 -> 
    100,000 US per unit.   The beam tube will require replacement
    approx every 5 years for about 20,000 US.

They only cost that much new-in-box. :)
