Fans keep most computers alive. In the power supply, on the CPU, probably on the video card, and often also on the front and/or back of the case.
As every 14 year old overclocker knows, more and louder fans mean more air flow, and thus more performance headroom. In theory. In the real world, guiding the airflow to stuff that actually needs cooling is a better solution than just blowing a hurricane through the case, and there's not much point to shifting cubic kilometres of air through an enclosure every minute; gear can only run so fast, and you hit diminishing returns pretty quickly when you ramp up the cooling.
Fans are, however, still something of a fetish object for performance PC enthusiasts, as a cursory perusal of the case-mod scene will soon reveal.
