Wow, has this blown up.

Ben, your idea is a good one, though I'm trying to limit any kind of high power draws in the system.

The ping pong balls are to maximise surface area in the second loop to catch as much condensation as possible. Perhaps that isn't needed.

The reason you would use a bong rather than direct phase change chilling with the dehumidifier would be to prevent condensation inside of your machine. With a bong the PC loop should never be cold enough to promote condensation, but a good deal colder than what you'd have with a radiator.

For a heat exchanger, you could also use tightly coiled copper tubing in 1/2" completely bathed in the bong water in the cold bong. An alternative way of promoting condensation in the hot tower is as follows:
