what is a good case fan?

How much are you looking to spend? some people spend $20 a fan but some people just spend $3 a fan. The difference in price is noticeable the more expensive it is the more airflow it will have and the quieter it will be.

okay so like 3-4 bucks each i need 4 120mm and 1 80mm
 
This is just my opinion and I'm sure somebody will have a different one but I like these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O8I474/ref=oss_product . They have pretty good airflow and are very quite. I have 4 of them in my case and can't hear a thing, too me I don't think you can find 4 fans that are better for that price. If you look at the reviews you will see that almost nobody has anything bad to say about them. Where does the 80mm fan go? if possible I wouldn't bother with it because the cheap 80mm fans are loud and don't give much airflow. If I had to pick one though I would go with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233007 . It's not the best but with out spending a lot of money it's hard to find a 80mm fan that doesn't sound like a wind tunnel.

The 80mm fan is the rear exhaust fan then? personally I don't see why you will need it if there is going to be 2 120mm top exhaust fans. You could always just get a cheap $2 one to go there if you don't mind the noise.

how long does it take for neweggs in mail rebate and is that only for newegg or is it like a check?

The shipping on that fan is $7 kinda ruins the $1.50 price. I would go with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200044 if you really wanna 80mm. It's isn't that loud had has decent airflow. If your rebate actually gets approved then it will take about a month to get it back. It will be a check which you can cash and use anywhere.
