New member/customer intro

Good day everyone!

New member here embarking on my first serious WC build in a very long time. I also just made my first and second purchase from Dazmode, and so far the experience has been great. My second order in is transit as we speak.

Bit about me: I am approaching the big 50, started my love for computers with my TI99/4A and been working with them as a hobby turn career ever since. I was born in Kingston, but after college I moved to Ottawa as there was far more opportunities in IT. I currently work in IT security for the Government of Canada.

I have been wanting to go back into a fully DIY custom cooled PC for some time, but finally decided to take the plunge. It will be a themed build "Angelus Sanguine" and will entail only rad painting as a mod.
New system:
Ryzen 3900X
32GB Corsair 3200MHz Dominator RGB RAM
ADATA SX8200 Pro 1TB
Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master
ASUS Vega 64 STRIX
Lian LI PC-011 Dynamic XL - Black
Corsair HX1000i PSU

My cooling loop is a bit of a mix and match:
3x 360 Coolstream SE rads
Corsair pump/res combo
Heatkiller IV waterblock
EK STRIX Vega waterblock
12mm OD Acrylic tubing
Darkside fittings
10x Corsair ML120 Pro RGB fans

I already have the fans, and a significant Corsair ecosystem (Commander Pro, Node Pro, Strafe RGB Keyboard, Ironclaw Mouse, ST100 Headset stand, Void Pro Headset, MM800 mouse pad). The Corsair pump was choose mainly due to its iCUE compatibility. I currently have an ASUS board and its the last ASUS I will ever own, second one to have serious issues with its own software, which is the reason why I own the Commander Pro. I also have the Vega 64 and have no reason to change so will just block it.

I have not worked with custom cooling for some time, so I am looking forward to the fun and frustration of tube bending. I went to AiO loops for ease, since I tend to upgrade a lot (I'm replacing a Ryzen 2700X), but that needs to change so with this investment my base system will be a long term build with the expectation every few years I'll change out my GPU.

Theme: Angelus Sanguine
Loosely inspired by the Viking torture method referred to as Blood Eagle. The black case, I will paint my top and bottom rads white, and splatter them with red paint and using a wooden stick scrawl the "Angelus" on the top rad and "Sanguine" on the bottom. The loop will be filled with EK Cryo Fuel Blood Red. The RGB fans, when gaming I have them set to change based on Temps from green to red, but will play with what colour looks the best for non gaming and the theme. Probably the best part of RGB fans, you can really play until you find the colour you want for your theme. I know RGB is frowned upon here.

So long intro yes, but I jumped in big.
I have known about Daz for some time, and when it came to finally do it, there was no other Canadian WC dealer like it so it was the obvious choice and with my first purchase it was less than a week from purchase to the box at my door. Smooth! 2nd order is in transit and if you remove weekends, will be same speed, truly great!

Look forward to being a part of the community!
