I like the idea of a PC with a built in bong
But yeah, if the pipe is *I think it was* five inches in diameter and a couple feet tall with a fan then it should make for a good evap setup.
Just a few things about evap cooling:
Depending how humid the air around your computer you could have to refill the bong a lot and also depending on the humidity of the room the computer is in the bong could act as a humidifier - could be good or bad. Also only use water, no added antifreeze, dies, water wetter or anything because everything in an evap loop will eventually end up in the air your breathing.
I like the cardboard shroud you made but I think it would work better if the fan sucked air in through the heater core and blow out like an exhaust. This should get you more airflow. If you want to fancy it up a bit heres a guide to making a fiberglass shroud for it

As for making your own block we can help you
You looking for a design that you can have milled (mill the base on a CNC machine) or something you can make at home?
With a drill press and a thread tap you can make this block which would probably still work well on a north bridge or south bridge.

A better block to make with a drill press for your CPU would be one like #Rotor's blocks:

Those are fairly easy to make and work well. If you do a quick search I bet you can find the hole patterns for it. (you print off a sheet of paper and attach it to the bar of copper so that the holes will be in the right places)
This might give you some ideas too -
