Is your equipment running too hot? Mine seems to run fine at that ambient temperature.
I did a quick search and found there are self-evaporating units that don’t require a condensation drain.

When it's getting up to 92, is the air under the house still cooler?
I'd personally worry that even the smallest A/C unit you can get would be problematic in that small of a space. Might be worth air conditioning the rest of your house and unsealing the door instead.
Is there a window in the room the closet is in? I've got a similar setup with a server rack in a closet (no ventilation, though). I recently purchased an in-window Midea AC that can be controlled by Home Assistant.
I have an automation that will kick on the AC if the temperature in the closet rises above a certain amount, and will shut down when it drops below that amount. I just leave the closet door open by about a foot and that seems to be sufficient.
It's probably worth noting that I'm running pretty efficient hardware (35w i7s and a 75w Tesla P4) so it doesn't get super hot, even under heavy load.
