> That sounds like a better candidate for Amazon's EC2, where you pay only
for the actual time the instance was running instead of a monthly fee. Run
your build and set it to shut itself off after it's done. If such things
don't already exist, you could probably put a hook into your build process
so that it boots your EC2 instance and passes the job off to it.
