 sci.electronics, sci.electronics.design and sci.electronics.misc might be
the better groups to post this question to.
 I see no reason why you can't accomplish what you want with just a few
small parts, maybe just a transistor, thermistor and a few others
components. As the temp increases, the fan speed would increase also.
Forgive me stating the obvious facts, it's been a long time since I really
played with electronics, myself.
