    The answer is...it depends.
     
    If your air conditioning can keep the room comfortable for you, it is fine for the hardware.  If you are sweating, so is the hardware!  (Bad)  Now this assumes that there is ventilation in the rack (I assume you have enough room for the fans in the servers to move the air from front to back in the rack (That many servers I assume you are running 1u types like 1750s or 1850s.  (these servers and disks run hot)  Just don't constrict the airflow, keep the room comfortable for you (contrary to popular belief data centers do NOT have to be kept at 45 degrees!) , keep the humidity in check, and you should be fine.
