You don't need anything, just jacking up the amplification adds sufficient
noise already. If you have a noisy system fan, you can just hang a cheap
mike behind the computer. As to drivers, catting from /dev/dsp should not
be that hard.

But /dev/random under Linux already uses an entropy pool internally, as
opposed to /dev/urandom, which is just a plain random number generator.
