sindikat,

Some searching brings up plug computers for under $200.  You could probably 
run one of those from home and use dynamic DNS for your own personal data 
needs.

I'm not sure what you would really accomplish by renting a VM which would go 
away just as soon as your cash runs out.  Maybe the large-scale distributed 
database projects need tons of bandwidth and storage (in which case save 
yourself the hastle and just donate money), but most peer production does not.  
The typical open-source developer gets thier internet infrastructure provided 
for free.

I suggest you pick a few specific projects that interest you and spend some 
time talking to people involved in them to help guide your decision.
