I'm not sure how much use a script to control the fan is - surely the temperature's going to be pretty constant as the Pi is doing the same thing all the time? I have the geekpi case and I found that the fan, when it was located near my ears anyway, was a little too loud at 5v so I connected it to the 3.3v pins instead which was almost silent, and inaudible when I was playing music. htop reports the temperature as 42C so probably didn't need a fan in the first place but it was pretty hot when I built the player and next to no airflow and pis are pretty rare and/or expensive these days so I thought I'd treat it!
