Advise on insulating garage as work area.

I am finally lucky enough to work from home but the only available space I have for my computer and other work equipment is in the garage. I currently rent the house I am living in and the landlord is perfectly fine with me installing insulation (obviously, because I am sure it adds value), but I don't want to cover the walls if I can avoid it. There are three outside facing walls as well as the ceiling that I would like to insulate. I live in New Mexico and our winters are mild to average but our summers can get very warm. I also have a couple vents that are shown in the imgur album, and I am wondering if I can/need to cover those with something. I believe that the standard r-13 insulation that is used in homes should work well, but what should I use for the ceiling? Do you see any problems inserting the insulation into the walls stapling them into place and leaving them like that? Another reason for insulating is to keep the computer equipment from being damaged in extreme weather/temperature.
