3 color theme might be hard to give u. anyway u can add another 2 more 1 at the top another at the front. to have a balance airflow.

as for those fancy power cable i think they get it from either cablemod or taobao.

well u might really need to do a search on your own to find who are the shops/company that does that.

fans u can consider GT (kinda grey fan blades.)

Hello, I'm actually using the Define R5 as well, currently running 4 case fans.
Each fan you add actually provides diminishing returns, and beyond 4 fans it seems to plateau so ideally you should look at 3-4 fans I feel.
For your themed build, you can shift your exhaust fan to the front intake (those fans are not gonna be visible anw) and add your themed fans on the exhaust and bottom intake.

For sleeved psu cables, you can check out cablemod, moddiy, mainframecustoms, or the budget friendly taobao.
