MO-RA setup options?

So I'm on the verge of purchasing the mora 360 radiator and I am confused how to set it up. I've already got 2x360 rads outside of my case I am going to replace with this so I do have a approx 1m molex chain to a 6 fan hub on the top of the current rads. If you could see it, it certainly won't he tidy cable management wise.

Is there something really simple I am missing when it comes to getting 9 fan cables to look good? I don't want to waste money on getting then unifans is there any other options? I currently have 6 bequiet fans doing a great job but it's tooled away under my desk and was considering putting the mora on a shelf somewhere above my desk.

Tbh its not a case of needing it, I just want it because it will look better than what I have out together under my desk right now and I do want it in a more accessible location. I can take some pictures of what I have right when I get home. But they won't help as I'm not really asking about that, I just want advice cable managing and powering the 9 fans I will he putting on the new rad.

it would literally be my desk in the corner of the room with the mora somewhere within 2m. ive read of people using a psu just for the mora fans.

i cant seem to find any of the arctic fans that click together but i can find them with daisy chaining cables. 10 quid each or 5 for 28 quid lol. the 5 for is not in stock though

with the radiator being outside the case i could leave the fans as low as possible. i do have a fan hub that has a switch on it for something like off, 30% and 100% speeds. it is some cheap crap from the shop site but it works and has flawlessly, it doesnt take enough fans though but if i can daisy chain that would change.

atm i have 3 or 4 30cm molex cables running from the bottom gpu slot of my case to the fan hub, tied up with my tubing to make it as neat as i could (im the worst at making things look good/tidy etc).

i have r7 3700x and 6700xt. gpu isnt blocked yet but will be once ive got this rad.

So with the lack of stock on this MO-RA I'm looking into the nexxos 1080 now instead and it's 60 quid cheaper. Any reasons why I would regret getting the nexxos over the mora3 360?

Yes they come with or sell brackets for I think its 200mm fans. I got 10 of them arctic fans 5 for 25quid and they come with something called pst which let's you daisy chain them.

I dont think I have a need for the case. It will hopefully be tucked away or out of reach somewhere.

Off topic - I have an flt 120 and d5 pump. The pump is a pwm pump, can I make it run without plugging the pwm cable in? I want it the other side of my room so that would just be one cable too many.

I'm using a different pump atm because it's in my nr200p and the d5 thing wouldn't fit. But I remember trying to fill my loop without motherboard power and it would run extremely slow, so slow it would hardly move put of the reservoir.
