Then you don't care if it runs all the time... Google "Langa" and "quiet" and "fan" to find some articles by Fred Langa on how to quiet down systems. Quiet fans aren't terribly expensive, and if this box was running NT it's probably about time to consider replacing the fan anyway!
I just installed Linux on a former NT box. When it had NT, after boot up it
used to either slow down or shut down the fan, and there was almost no
noise. However, after I installed Linux, the noise persists and it's really
loud. How do I adjust the fan speed? Thank you.
If the box supports ACPI you can set the fans to automatic mode: echo -n 3 > /proc/apci/fan/ <name> /state
The system does not support ACPI and APM. What do I do? Help! The fan is really loud.
