   The two easiest ways to deal with cooling are to use fans to  
distribute the generated heat into the rest of the house (to be  
removed by the main A/C unit) or to use a small portable A/C unit in  
the machine room.  In my last house I had to use a combination of the  
two due to the amount of hardware that I was running.

   The right thing to do, of course, is to install a dedicated A/C  
unit.  Look for information on "mini split" A/C systems...They are  
relatively inexpensive, reasonably efficient, and very easy to install.
