What about creating another "zone" for your equipment? It should cost somewhere between "fiddling with the vents" and a seperate AC for the equipment... Hopefully closer to fiddling with the vents...

All it should really cost would be a few pieces of ducting, some "shunts" (my term), and a temp sensor in the equipment room - assuming your AC can handle an additional zone...
