HA-HA! Nice try, man - of course it's going to cost you!
A hang-on filter is a good idea, a skimmer is a better idea, and a couple of PH or mini-jets as well. Buildup of detritus in a 10gal is murder.
Without a refugium or skimmer, your principle means of nutrient export will be water changes, large and regular. I hope you have the freedom at work to be doing those...

An open top 10 gallon with an office 18W power compact light fixture to place over top of it. I could possibly hook two together to get twice the wattage. 50 Watt heater, and a small fountain pump for circulation.

The lights might be OK, but do they have a decent spectrum for what you'll keep? Will you be happy with how they look?

The best part is it is all free.

Would this be enough. What could I grow. I would also have a DSB and some live rock supplied out of my 90g.

You could keep the standard nano list, probably - shrooms, zoos, softies, dusters... Just get enough sand and rock in there and you should be OK. I think a nano is a good place to go overboard with lighting and filtration - it's a delicate little balance there, and they seem to become more work that we hoped for.
