Michelle, If you have any exterior walls to your storage room you might want to consider a window air conditioning unit. Units are fairly inexpensive, and will do the job quite nicely. If you are working in an interior space, look into the cooling systems designed for computer rooms. Both should be relatively easy to find in your local area.

What type of cooling system did you use? Was there a problem with condensation? Any information/advice would be wonderful. Thank you in advance!!
