The gears are turning, I need some oil.

I am very tech oriented and have a water cooled PC myself. I am failing to grasp what you are trying to accomplish with this setup? Water cooled PC's do not cool down past the ambient air temperature.

A very basic watercooling setup consists of hoses, a pump, a radiator, and a fan. All that's going on is the pump is pushing water thru a waterblock that then takes the heat away from the CPU/GPU/Mosfets/whatever... That water then goes thru the rest of the loop back to the radiator where the fan pushes air thru the fins to dissipate the heat.

The most you can possibly accomplish would be the ambient temp in the room, which your cigars are already at...

I'm just confused what you are after, even if it did cool (which from your picture looks like the Cooler Master Aquagate S1, and your wrong, it doesn't), I don't see how you expect to cool the air inside the unit. You would have to have like a mile of tubing running up and down all the walls, at least enough to change the temp of the water inside the hoses (this would also require a much much larger pump). You would also need internal fans circulating the air away from the hoses. Sounds like a major waste of space, time, and personal sanity.
