I'm thinking about gettin a 23" pc system from petsupplyliquidator.com, with 2 55w bulbs. I would rather not pay an extra $40 for the fans, but I think they're probably necessary on a 20g. What do you guys think?

Fans are always a good option to have.
However, if you have a canopy on the tank, you can get the fans from radio shack.

How much would the fans at radio shack cost? Also, if I got them, how should I orient their flow to provide the best cooling?

5-10 bucks (I think)
I bought them so long ago, I don't remember.
You will need to wire outlets on to them though.
At least the ones I bought

The out-side fan will rust out before the in-side fan.
I would put 1 fan to push air in, and let the air find a place to get out.
