Depending on your needs and equipment, you may be able to set up
everything you need on your own PC for free!
Assuming you're running Windows, the following is all freely available:
* Virtual PC
* Linux
* Swift
*Virtual PC*
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx
You can use this to install alternative OSs on your machine. For example.
* Earlier versions of windows for IE5.x
* Windows Vista RC1, which has IE7. It's a free (but very large)
download or Microsoft can send it to you on DVD.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx
* Linux, for testing linux based browsers, such as Konqueror (based on
KHTML)
(If you've got a Mac instead, there's other virtual desktop software
available elsewhere)
*Kubuntu Linux*
Kubuntu is a good, easy-to-use linux distro if you're new to Linux and
comes with Konqueror installed. (Free download or order the free CD)
http://www.kubuntu.org/
*Swift*
Swift is a port of WebKit to Windows. If you don't have access to
Safari on a Mac, this is the next best thing, as far as the rendering
engine in concerned. However, WebKit was originally based on KHTML, so
they're very similar. The site, getswift.org is dead, but there's a
binary available.

Browsers like OmniWeb and iCab are fairly good, but unfortunately the
only way to test in those is to get access to a Mac. Both Opera and
Mozilla (incl. Firefox, Camino, etc.) on the mac are equivalent to the
Windows versions. Finally, IE/Mac is officially dead and not worth
worrying about.
So, even if you only have a PC, you can still get access almost all
browsers you need to test in all for free.
