One of the reasons that I don't use ec2 myself is because I don't want to run 
up routine expenses that I have the hassle of claiming every month.

When we have our own cloud solution, or shared billing, then I'll be in.

But to get back on topic, when I review one of William's branches, for 
example, I will run the tests on my local machine, sometimes in a VM.  I 
recently set it up so it has Wake On Lan so I can turn it on remotely and run 
my tests when I am travelling (I have a server that is always on that I ssh 
into first).
