There is a diesel generator company that makes semi-truck sized mobile generators for backup purposes/remote locations. The difference between the cheap vs expensive variants is around $250,000. They only difference is the cheap one has software to limit the output. Now if you could hack that you could save yourself quarter of a mil.

Pikers. Sneak in there a hidden octa-core Xeon server running ... ah ... 'cloned' Oracle licences, and that's probably a cool million.
