If it is a Windoze box, there is a neat, free utility called TimeRC 3.0. 
Syncs to a couple of milliseconds without having to have a local timeserver.

Despite direct awareness of what competition does to people..., some 
individuals persist in claiming that its effects are constructive.  This is 
a powerful example of how it is possible to adjust our beliefs so as to 
escape the threatening realization that we have been subjecting ourselves 
to something terrible, that we have internalized a corrosive personality 
attribute.
