Hi,
It is definitely possible to put disk in to the sleep mode as well as 
suspend and idle. Look at atactl man page. As far as fan goes, if you 
are handy with soldering iron you can whip up simple voltage regulator 
for the fan. I did it for my Qube and it helps a lot. When temperature 
rises fan kicks in. You can also replace the fan with a high quality one.
This is the one I build for myself 
http://www.heatsink-guide.com/tempcontrol.htm. The tricky part is to 
adjust the temperature because when you put the case back on temperature 
goes up a bit so you should allow for that.

Thanks,
Alex
