Room size is almost irrelevant in a server room -- the equipment is the big
factor, not the size of the room (actually, the small room can make things
worse, esp if there is no circulation to another room or exhaust vents to
dispose of hot air). Definitely don't size a room (window) a/c based on the
room size. At least double it, as room a/c's generally are for
bedroom/living room use (or not much cooking) and humans plus a tv/radio
don't put out as much heat as a bank of computers.  Our server room is in a
basement area, which should be about 55-60 degrees in winter. With only a
few servers and assorted equipment, we end up running a/c most of the winter
(basements are well insulated by earth) and haven't had to run heat in years
(the humans complain when it gets down to 65).
