Don't worry. I'm sizing the A/C based on current needs + future growth. I just mentioned the room size for conversation sake. The A/C unit we have is already too small for our immediate needs. Some say it was too small and all wrong from the beginning because it doesn't circulate cold air well enough. I have to use fans to get the cold air to the other side of the room. Our next system will be much better.

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).
