I would like to be able to test some GUI-based applications I'm writing on there, but I don't have any x-server software for the windows PC.  My question is, is there any good, free or cheap windows based x-server software available?  And also, can I use it over an SSH session?

Check out the cygwin project.  You can setup a fairly extensive unix
like environment on windows, including an x server that will handle x11
forwarding for your applications.  You can also use their ssh or putty
with the x11 server cygwin provides.
