I'm leaning towards the tried & true O11D Evo, but thought I'd ask for any other suggestions...

Currently using a white Lancool 3 with vertical GPU riser & silver fittings, but my son fancies a darker/stealthier build to match his new Batcave.

Kit will be the following:
5800X3D
B550M Mortar
2x 32Gb Crucial RGB (C16/3200)
Sapphire Nitro 9070XT
MSI Mag A1000GL

EK CPU block
EK P360 Rads X2
FLT 360 D5
Barrow Nitro 9070XT block

(Haven't decided between ZMT/EPDM or hard tubing - I have plenty of fittings for either).

I have a million Arctic P120 fans, as well as a bunch of 140mm Noctua Redux...

Not fussed on massive Corsair/Fractal/Phanteks towers or trying to squeeze everything into an ITX build (although I do have 2x 480mm, several 280/240 rads and a MoRa420
sitting unused).
Prefer the top & bottom radiator sandwich look, rather than top & front mount...
 
I had o11 original and it was very tight with 360pe on top and 360 st30 on side. Bottom only would fit som superslim rad, but with gpu in horisontal position.
Ive upgraded to o11 evo rgb and its much bigger internally. I have same pe 360 top, side is st30 and bottom is tx360 crossflow (thats max you can go with 25mm fans and vertical gpu mount) sife will easily take pe or even thicker rad. You can find some of my rig pics in watercooling gallery.

Now begins the challenge of finding the O11DE-1X vertical bracket...
 
O11 Evo Xl will give you more room for top bottom rads and distro on side. Saying that, it will look bit empty as it can take 140mm fans and 420mm rads all around,. Otherwise o11 evo rgb should do well for ya

I was concerned about 120mm fans and 360 rads not filling out the XL but it turned out quite tight anyway!

Any x-flow radiator will need extra space and I wouldn't have wanted to try fit a 420 x-flow in, the 360 x-flow only just went in for my build.

I have 2x EK P360 rads for top & bottom, the FLT360 (D5) will be side mounted.
Should be enough to cool a 5700X3D and a 9070XT - if not, I can run external tubing with QDs to the MoRa 420.
 
I have zmt and silver fittings in my 011 evo and 240flt. Looks dead smart. How much did you pay for the gpu block? Also interested if you get much more out of the card

Barrow block for the Sapphire Nitro was £77 delivered. Should arrive in the next couple of days.
There was a full acrylic Bykski block for £95ish, but I prefer the chrome/acrylic look of the Barrow block. Both come with backplates included.

Scrap that - Found a b-grade Havn HS420 for £130, which turned up like new.

Fans have also arrived:
Jumpeak MX120 (Unifan SL120 Clones)
3x Reverse Flow, 6x Forward Flow

Teucer Prism 4 140mm (Unifan SL140 clones)
1x Fwd, 1x Reverse.

Nollie 16 Fan ARGB/PWM Hub

Total spend: £66.40

(Equivalent Lian Li cost: £340)

Just need to figure out whether I need the £70 Havn vertical GPU bracket, or if I can reuse the Lian Li one currently in the Lancool 3...
 
Made a start dismantling the Lancool 3 - drained the Orange Cryofuel, poured it down the loo...

...and now my Wife thinks I have kidney failure.

Took most of the day cleaning components and putting the Lancool back to stock as much as possible - I was tempted to swap my rig over (currently in a Lancool 2) but I just don't have the energy, plus my son needs access to one working rig to keep him occupied.

Will be unboxing the Havn tomorrow and making a start planning tube runs.

Did the orange cryofuel leave any stains at all or was it all easy to clean off?

It's tinted the white acetal pump/res top (Barrow) and left residue inside the 2080Ti block (Phanteks) - but I haven't had a chance yet to flush either with hot water/vinegar solution and see if it cleans up okay.

Doesn't sound too bad then, hopefully it cleans up ok. Not surprised the white top got stained. White is the worst colour for running any colour coolant
