Those fans don't use more than 2watts.

I don't see being able to run a Pentium 3 fanless unless it is a pretty large heatsink setup -- which would be expensive. You can reduce the fan speed (and wattage use) by getting a Zalman Fanmate 2 controller for about $7-8. It has a variable control and can be adjusted to run the fan pretty slow -- makes the fan nice and quiet too. Used one with my Celeron-T CPU for years.
