Ok i've got the money to do an order tommorrow and I was hoping to get a few answers and peoples insights before I buy the gear.

I've decided on getting a Hardware labs Black Ice GT Stealth 360 Radiator and I wanted some peoples opinions.
Which fan would you get from this website to accompany the above radiator?

if there's no answers by the morning i'll stick with my default choice

I'm also getting a shroud so just another thing to take into consideration.
Cheers Guys!

Solution
If you are putting shrouds on there then you will get the best effect, allowing you to slow them down a touch, I reckon you won't go far wrong there, but I doubt the Dba rating, I'm just cautious hehe
remember your fancontroller can help

if you are using a fan controller I would get these

or
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_510&products_id=6170

they are not expensive and if you keep them at 1200 RPM and less they are almost silent.

and to further save on expense consider a fan/radiator shroud the fans in a pull configuration from the radiator will perform as well if not better than the push/pull configuration

I took it a step further and use even smaller fans and still get the same performance.
