Can you get an antenna in a good location? (GPS probably won't work in a machine room. Too much EMI.) Does your system have a real serial port? A PPS signal on a modem control signal is the normal low-cost way to get timing info into a PC. Real serial ports work much better than USB. Are you willing to do some soldering? You can get Garmin GPS-18x for under $100. It comes in 3 versions. You want the LVC. There are probably other similar parts available. You can get a Raspberry Pi and GPS hat for ballpark of $100 after you include power and case and SD card. I got mine from Adafruit. -- These are my opinions.
