In most cases, heat pipe systems (and that's what one would have with
an evacuated vapor system) require a secondary heat exchanger.  The
low pressure system moves the heat from where it's generated to a
heat exchanger where it is transferred to a second cooling medium that
can be moved a longer way to the final heat exchanger.

The rigid pipes and initial heat exchanger might be a construction and
maintenance issue for amateur equipment - and probably not worth the
incremental performance vs. a more traditional radiator/reservoir
design.
