When you're working on web stuff you certainly will face problems with some browsers rendering your website in a different way than all others in the world. That sucks, but it does happen.
I used to use this interesting site/service IENetRenderer (http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/) to see how my sites where rendered on Internet Explorer, as I only have linux boxes.
But today I found an even more interesting (really a lot more!) site/service: http://browsershots.org/. It can give you screenshots from several browsers in several operating systems. That is really awesome!
"What is Browsershots? Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl. When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here."
I used this service on a website I just put online (http://www.leitenapista.com.br, portuguese only). It is Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, valid CSS 2.1 and renders OK on 37 of 38 I got screenshots from. The only one that failed to render it correctly was Internet Explorer 8.

Have you tried using
Have you tried using IES4Linux. It's a pretty essential tool in my opinion and you can test sites locally. You can use ie 5 ie 5.5 ie 6 and ie 7 (although ie7 is kind of a hack). Anyway, you can't use browser shots if you're building websites on your own computer, which is way faster.
