Richard,
Some thoughts:
* Cooling requirements can be adjusted based on how many machines
are running at the same time and for how long.
* Winter cooling needs may be nill, or even undesireable.
* Dehumidification is probably more important to the collection than
heating or cooling.
My "machine room" is a section of the basement - a naturally cool place
except during the hottest, most humid days of summer. I run a simple
dehumidifier as needed during the summer and leave the door open to the
upstairs to allow heat to rise. In winter the machines contribute to
keeping the basement a little warmer.
My running machines are 2-3 PC-based servers plus a microVax and
occasionally 1-2 machines under test. This is closer to a "server
garden" than what you want to run. But cooling may be less of a problem
if continuous operation is not the goal.

That was an interesting read, thanks!
