It will work in the long run if you maintain a stable coolant temperature and humidity inside the case.
You were planning to do something like
this I assume. This will maintain a rather stable water temp throughout the year. This guy's setup varied 4,3 C over a time of 2 years.
We all agree that the first part of the wc loop (the plate) will be the coldest part and will extract humidity when it's temp goes bellow dew point.
The next step in the loop will not extract any humidity as long as the plate extracts the humidity fast enough to lower the dew point. And that is possible if you have; a slow water temperature change and slow air exchange.
But you must also insulate the case or you will get condensation at its outside.
Therefore it is more common to insulate the tubes and water blocks.
