Most new servers will auto shutdown if the temp sensor gets too high.
That said, is the window still in this room? It should be a completely walled room. For cheap you might be able to have the local A/C guy run a separate thermostat and ducting from your main units to that room, then you can keep the thermostat in the room set to something like 72 F.
Humidity should be around 35-40%, get a hygrometer and check what the humidity is. The best I've found are the ones that have a wheel that turns and it "marks" the humidity level over a 24 hour period.
As far as noise levels go..it's going to be "loud" in the room with 20 servers in that space. You can seal the door to some extent and a solid door as opposed to hollow will help keep noise "in" the server room.
For phone use, get a headset with dual earpads and a noise-cancelling mic. You'll like being hands-free to type anyways.

Assuming the servers are newer models, the better cooling (less than 80) should quiten the fans down considerably. Most equipment has variable speed fans to address this. It would be best to use a IP KVM and remote manage the servers when you can. The humidity should be fine with the Liebert. BTW, you may want to add an alarm to call you if the cooling fails. A room like this can go from 65 to toast in a couple of hours without cooling. The Liebert UPS should have the option to do high temp shutdown.
