It's just too hot and my servers are melting ;)

We've got a problem due to the fact that the building management is turning off the air condition at night, and also on weekends. Now we have a couple of servers at the office (mail server, domain controller etc), but they are not in a cabinet and therefore don't have any cooling apart from their own fans inside and in the power supply etc.

I guess it has 30+ degree Celsius (that is 80+ Farenheit) at some hot days in the office. We are located in Asia, so it’s humid and hot.

Does anybody know if I buy a cabinet with fans, it's actually working and better for the servers? I tried to get something with Air Condition, but unfortunately I would have to install a water pipe from the cabinet, because of the high humidity air conditions in asia need something like that. Also, I would have to buy such a air con cabinet all the way from the USA to Asia...

I also thought about just putting the servers behind a big fan or something, maybe that's enough already, or maybe even better than the cabinet.

Usually places where cabinets are should be kept cooler already, but I never thought about a place where it's hot around the cabinet, but supposed to be cooler inside...

Any ideas? It really hurts to see the servers melting like this...

Thanks :)
