Yeah, that fan-noise-myth some more! Unless your card has a microphone 
on-board (which I seriously doubt) it isn't picking up the fans noises but 
electrical interference. Please see the archives, this is a well discussed 
phenomenon.

Here freebob does a good job with a presonus firepod. Good job = running 
stable for more than six hours with 5ms delay without xrun in a live job...

But USB isn't that bad either. Except for the conceptional errors in USB in 
generel (that is way sometimes usb-devices even disks disappear and appear 
again, which is bad for audio (my hardware-dealer told me about this, I 
wouldn't believe it but now I am happy to have a firewire-card)).

Have a nice week,

Arnold
