For the price the Noctua D-14 (personal favourite), Phantek's (not as quiet, but looks cool), Alpenfohn K2 (good performance PWM, but not as quiet), and Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E (supposedly the best and quietest but only by 1-2C) willl out perform the Megahalems for the same price.

Imo though the Megahalems is the best looking cooler around.

I'm currently running an Alpenfohn Matterhorn PURE. Half your budget and a decent cooler. Only comes with 1 fan but you can order additional fans from them AFAIK.

The 612S would be a better shout over the Matterhorn as it comes with easy fit brackets and includes an extra set to fit a second fan.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E CPU Cooler (Socket LGA 2011/1366/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA775/AM2/AM3/FM1) £58.79
1 x Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1156/1155/1366/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1) £56.39
1 x Cooler Master Hyper 612S CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366/1156/1155/775/AM3/AM2+/AM2) £32.99
1 x Thermalright HR-02 Macho CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/LGA1156/LGA1155/LGA1366) £29.18
