[LINUX_Newbies] Computer room heat

I so got on board the Linux world in the last year, but it has created
a problem for me. My office/computer room at home gets a LOT of
heat in it. As a temp solution, I have put a window AC unit in there,
but believe it or not even with the cooler weather that unit still
cycles. That is a lot of heat being produced by the 4 Linux servers I
run all of the time. I have a group of 6 more servers I got cheap that
I want to turn into a cluster, but know I cannot stand the heat. I am
looking for cheap solutions you guys have used who have had this
problem.

Remember, this is really a spare bedroom in our home so regular
computer room tricks like raised floors etc are not possible. I do
have a potential solution in mind but want to see what the gurus out
there have done.

Thanks,
Loyal
