No totaly set on which rads to get (480 + 240) but for the moment i have picked the Thermochills and i was going to pair them with 6 fans but which ones?, I got recommended the 1850 GT's but they look fuggly and im all about looks

so im looking for a substitute fan that looks good.

Im not too bothered about noise that much a little is ok but not overboard, these fans look really good and push more CFM than the GT's

so what does somone think that has had watercooling?, are these fans and rads a good pair ?.

Hope your going to run them on a fan controller! You don't need really fast fans for thermochill rads. I get about 1-2c difference in temps running mine at 1600rpm compared to the ~800 odd I run them at daily.

Go for the ones your like the look of though

Go for the 1000s rather than the 2000s. You just don't need high airflow over a Thermochill. In fact, if you want to run high-flow fans you should buy a different radiator!

The sharkoons are good for a vertically mounted rad but I find them not so good mounted horizintally, they also tend to whine when mounted that way.

I use these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-005-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4

on my pa 120.3 which is mounted horizontally and sharkoons on my 120.2 which is mounted vertically.

Get a fan controller either way.
