ha! I am something of an idiot. The biggest problem that I had was that a dedicated host with enough power and memory to handle virtual machines the virtual machines required is pretty expensive, as is colocation. However, I just realized that I don't need any of that!! A build server only needs to be mostly connected, not connected full time and as long as it can publish its results somewhere, it doesn't even need to be generally available on a static ip. So I can buy a box with a decent amount of memory, and a decent processer, stick it in my house (or some place like that) as long as its mostly connected it should work and be a fairly inexpensive option. Of course, there is still a ton of setup work to do. But this does remove the cost barrier and makes things a bit easier in general. I don't know why I didn't realize this before.
