Hi Bruce, Racking small equipment is a pain. I like to use shelves with holes in the bottom so I can use velcro or tie wraps to strap things down. The size of the shelf/tray depends on the specifics. You can find some here: http://www.infinitecables.com/racks-shelves-cable-management.html#shelves
Depending on the space you've got and how you want to access things, you can use sliding drawers/shelves or strap it to the front of a filler plate (same page as above). That way you can access all sides of the non-standard equipment. I've seen household units used for portable cooling but they're not designed to run continuously. They typically failed in just over a year of continuous use. The company I usually see at the IT trade shows is MovinCool. http://movincool.com/ They have several solutions that are well suited to IT. Make sure you've got a dedicated circuit with enough amperage to support the AC unit. They're power hogs. You also need a way to exhaust the hot air. You may need to manage condensate water too. Another tip: Those non-standard things usually have a barrel connector for power that slides out easily. Consider tie wrapping the power cable to an anchor of some kind so that it won't wiggle out accidentally. The power buttons on them are also in dumb places. I often use a hot glue gun to disable the power buttons on consumer equipment like power bars, switches, APs, etc so that they can't be accidentally switched off or reset. Especially important if you have a Cisco Catalyst 3650 or 3850 http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/636/fn63697.html. (derp) I hope that helps.
