Default Is this fan worth it?

I am probably going to build myself a case at some point in the future, and i wanted to get some fans for it. I recently got a $30 gift certificate to the egg, and i thouht i could use it on this. I saw these fans, and i was thinking about getting 5(for the discount). Is this a good deal?

I wanted to get something with plenty of airflow, and i only have $30. Please post any comments of suggestions on the fans, or if you think there is something else on the site about $30 you think is a better deal.

Rosewill makes surprisingly high quality parts. However, unless you NEED 5 fans, they could cause some turbulence. These are the best fans, IMHO, for being quiet and having high airflow at the same time, and are fairly inexpensive, as well. These are the fans I use, btw.

The best $ value in fans, and 3 of these badboys will perform WAY better than 5 of those Rosewill fans.

*Those are also available at the egg, I just know how to find them faster on that site*
