Thanks for the offer.
You can set up the buildslave yourself, no need to give anyone else 
access to the box.
The buildslave would run as a process that would talk to the buildmaster 
over a TCP socket, so being behind a firewall should not be a problem as 
long as the port from the slave to the master is open.
We run nightly tests that can be scheduled to your convenience, they 
requre about 7-8 hours of CPU time total. Some of the tests can be run 
in parallel, two cores will run the tests in about 5 hours of wall-clock 
time, YMMV.
You need to be able to build ppy, directions are here 
http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/windows.html
To set up a buildslave, read this 
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/buildbot/src/default/README_BUILDSLAVE
and then come join us on IRC at #pypy so we can update the buildmaster 
with your details
