water cooling questions

I want to get into liquid cooling and i have two questions:

1. From which brand should i buy radiators, i want a slim 240mm and a thick 140 mm, i've seen koolance rads for about 50 bucks, are those any good?

2. I always hear linus talking about one specific awsome pump, which pump is this and how much does it cost.

Ps. Not sure if this is in the right subforum, but this seemed like the best place to post this

Rads are good from EK, BlackIce and Alphacool. The Pump Linus always talks about is the Swiftech MCP655.
