I realised that I have a server on Dreamhost that probably could be such a computer - there is unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth (to some extend, I guess, but that will be enough for us). Now I'm trying to compile Lilypond on it - there are some libraries missing, I'm in progress of figuring out whether I can install it locally (it's a shared server, not a private one, so I don't have root on it). 

If yes and lilypond compiles, we could automatically pull git repo, run tests on it, pack the results and send an email with a link to them. There is Apache, PHP, MySQL there, so if you would like to do a website to present results directly on the server, it's possible :)

I will finish installing Lilypond on a Dreamhost server soon, but because it's a shared server, I have some problems with overusing its resources. I've contacted Technical support and there are willing to help, e.g. giving me bigger limits or sth, BUT I must know one thing:

How much CPU time and memory would regtests consume? How many times a day will they be run?
