Buy RHEL for one computer.  

Run CentOS on the rest.  When you have a problem on a CentOS box, 
replicate the problem on the RHEL box, then call in for official 
RH support.  After you receive the solution, implement it on the 
CentOS box.  

Of course, that's a lot of hassle and expense, 
negating much of the point of avoiding the RHEL cost.
