Alright so I was on newegg today looking for some extra case fans, so I decided on ordering a few of these but if you look at the "Quantity Pricing" chart on the left side of the page it shows that if you order more the shipping and fan price will go down. So originally I was going to order 4 which would be $6.36 + $17.18 shipping but I saw that if I ordered 1 more to make it 5 the price would drop to about $15 instead of getting 4 at $23. But then I noticed on the little quantity price chart that if I was to get 15 fans the price would only be $1 a fan and free shipping making it $15 for 15 fans instead of the original $23 for 4 fans, how could this be? Is it some error?

It's called "volume pricing" meaning that they buy alot of them. So if you buy alot of them too then they can afford to give a nice discount, they're only $1.59.
BTW I have one of those fans and it was okay but it creates a really annoying "whinning" sound. I've had to replace them with some Enermax fans which I'm glad I did, it was driving me crazy.

I had got three of those fans (one on the CPU and two for the case) and they all made the sound. I had seen the good review of them too there, thats why I took the chance and bought them only to replace them soon after.

2Fresh is pretty good but the fans in Jeff's link are 80mm (although he should go with larger fans 
).
).I have that case. The front can take 4X80mm in a square pattern so you could fit one 120 right there, prob have to drill the 4 mount holes for it but youd never see them.
On the rear, below where the 2 80s that come with the case are mounted there is a little room but not enough for a 120 I think. Maybe if you arent using the PCI slots u can put one there.
Beyond that youd have to cut a hole in the top, bottom or side to fit a 120 in there.
Im using the 3 80s supplied with the case plus 2 more Zalman 80mm Z1s up front and with my wiring all tucked away its getting great airflow. Also the 2 fans on the raidmax PSU dont hurt any.
Theres still room for one more 80 out back and 2 more 80s up front If I needed more flow SO I dont see you needing to go to 120s at all.
Heres my case before I added the 2 Zalmans up front and a arctic cooler to the vid card. Lots of room under it there:
