I grew up in the desert, where all the houses had evaporative coolers, and I remember that evaporative coolers add a ton of humidity to the air. Once your water runs a few cycles through that bong, it will be pretty chilly. Now, with the heat transfer from the heater core, you are going to have to worry about condensation on the lines running to the computer. It probably won't be nearly as bad as with a pelt, but you probably will have to wrap up your water line between the heater core and cpu with insulation and tape. With that small precaution, I think your system will be awesome.
bong cooling will never drop the temp of the water below the dew point, so unless you get a sudden temprature change you won't get condensation.
