Maybe that's all your budget can handle but I have to say that no AC for the 
server room is a bad idea, the greatest single source of wear for 
electronics is thermal, of course your equipment may be obsolete and need 
replacement by the time that's a problem.

Not too hard to get off, use WD-40, works great.  If you use that to clean 
off a component make sure you clean off the WD-40 with alcohol or it will 
start dissolving anything else you put on there.  Another easy solution is 
to wear surgical gloves when you're working on CPU's, very cheap and easy to 
clean up.
