>From my experience, you need at least a medium sized windows instance. If you have a look at http://aws.amazon.com/de/ec2/pricing/ you could estimate the costs, but from my experience the monthly bill is a lot higher than you would anticipate. Currently I have the one node running for about 10 Hours per month (I configured Teamcity Agent to shutdown the instance after idling for 10 munites and I manually trigger the builds every few days). My bill is at about 23$/Month which relates to 355 hours (14 days) of up-time according to the price list. I guess there might be more factors making up the price of a node. Unfortunately I don't actually know how the final bill is actually calculated (They don't show it on the bill). So I would be carefull to volunteer of paying the bill as this might be a lot higher than you anticipate.

I for one would be willing to donate a couple of dollars (at least) per month to see this happen, and I'm sure more people will feel the same way...
