I guess from the examples I have seen so far in the links provided by MasterG is that they used piping that has all these connections available as a modular design,
You don have that luxury - so I guess lost of silicone sealant would be required.
Given type of vessel you are using maybe punching in teh tube at the desired angle would be more effective than drilling or cutting.
Out of interest what tube are u planning on using for that part of the build.
By the way - kudos to you for trying this.

Not 100% sure, i`m definately open to ideas. Ive only toyed with a 60mm fan, tho maybe more airflow would be better, like a moderate 120mm? Too many CFM will just blast the water against the far wall of the bottle?
Also thought about something along the lines of....
Maybe increase the angle of the fan towards the water a bit more?
Thats definately easier to make...
The downside to any of these ideas is the increase in local air moisture level...not great for sub-zero cooling, and not great for the condition of the room
Open to all ideas

Have the fan directly facing the falling water if you can, otherwise you may loose some of the cooling effect there (where it'll be largest).
If your worried about moisture in the air, maybe seal the box and use a 90° adapter to pull water in from the top of the box to the fan? Tho spose then you still need a air "outlet" somewhere which would still be pushing damp air back into the room.
<edit> Lower CFM 120mm might be better as you'll be cooling a larger area of water at any one time. + it'll be quieter and probs push out more air than a 60mm </edit>
<another edit> How about using a tuppaware/microwave plastic bowl? Asda or similar sell decent sized ones for under a quid. Stick the bottle to 1 side to contain the water. Should be nice and watertight + they come with lids which might help minimise splashback and damp air escaping? </another edit>
