Default Window based AC unit that can run at very cold outside temps? Seekingsolns to a heat issue... Portable options?

I have a small office, with alot of computer equipment.. I'm trying to
come up with a way to get the overall temp down by say 10 degrees,
without breaking the bank or getting involved in major construction
changes..

The room is probably 12x12 or so.. I've found some space coolers, but
they only cool a 4'x4' area..

I found another space cooler that did a whole room, but it was $459.

The only other option i can think of is the window unit.. but in the
winter, from what i recall.. these tended to "freeze" up naturally...

These days are there any window units that can be run year round
essentially.. actually.. if i could find one that would monitor the
temp of the room and shut off at a given setting this would be
awesome..

Our work has a Mr. Slim on the ceiling, but that is overkill for my
home needs and probably super expensive.

Any thoughts out there?

Thanks

not sure freezing up outside is the problem, that's the hot side; my
experience, the problem is when the cold side (inside) is too cold it
turns into an iceberg.
