I'm building a little outbuilding for my personal office and I'm planning on a very small server room, really more of a closet with a couple VSL servers, Plex server, and a NAS. Maybe 4 servers max and a handful of network switches, LTE amps, and other little tech doodads. The main area (20'x16') will be cooled by a 12,000 BTU mini-split, so no central air to pull from. The machine room will be something like 4'x4'x8'. This is in the southern US and ambient temps can get pretty brutal. 

 

Any ideas on a cost effective option to cool such a small space? The quieter the better.

APC makes an "in wall" fan system to help circulate the air for a wiring closet/server room.

Am I correct and understanding that the machine room is connected to a room that is conditioned, so that it's similar to a closest?

If so, ACInfinity makes some useful products: Door fans/vents and rack mount fans/vents.
