Glad to see that I'm not alone being crazy!

I'm also thinking about pretty much the same as you, except with a TC-4 (modded) block.

In my research, I've found some theory, but very little practical info.

In short though, there are 3 ways to phase-change cool a PC:
1-stick the PC in the fridge (usually a bad idea)
2-stick a bucket of water in the fridge (easiest)
3-run the phase change lines through the waterblock (very hard)

Personally, I'd stick with the fridge, rather than the humidifier, simply because the fridge is probably a bit more powerful, with a higher duty cycle. Also, it's possible to mod a fridge to run continously, and I'm not sure how you'd do that with the dehumidifier unit.
