REALLY cheap colocation hosting

From my searching on the net, it seems that I want someting that doesn't exist. Right now, I have a crappy pentium machine on part of my university's network serving up pages for my site as well as some school sites. I plan to upgrade the machine in a few months, but nothing really server-like (probably a Duron or XP low-grade box).

But I'm thinking of moving off the campus net, as it has outages more than I like. So, colocation is the obvious answer. The problem, as you probably guessed is that most colocation start-up fees cost more than my server would be worth.

I'm wondering if there is some cheap hosting company that can take a regular tower box and just give it an IP and a power plug. This is probably not going to happen, and as long as I keep serving school sites, I don't have issues with the university, but I thought it was worth a shot. Please let me know if this is off-topic. Thanks.

If you want an uptime guarantee or want more than 1 U, I recommend ServePath
