I to had this problem.  If given the option to buy either a good or
cheap fan, get the good one.  My fan seems to have a slight problem
waking up after a powerup -- spinning it a bit will get it going, but
it's a pain to open the case all the time to check it when I power up.

Also, I've got a dx2/66 overclocked to 80.  No problems when the fan
runs.
