Default Air Coolers which don't need an external air vent?

Are there any air coolers out there which can keep the temperature down
within an enclosed space without an external air vent?


No.


I know that a fan on
its own would only recirculate the warm air, but was hoping there would be a
system for our needs?


No.


I saw some air coolers in the argos that had a 12
litre water tank, but wasn't sure if these also required an external air
vent to work?


That's just what you need in a server room...

This isn't a technology problem; it's a physics one. In order to cool
your room, you need to do something with the heat. You either dump it
outside, or use it to evaporate a liquid in the room. Dumping it outside
is the only option.

A good split unit aircon will cost about the same as a single server,
and take less time to set up than a single server takes to install and
configure from scratch.
