I did that first with my fans, but found that A) they weren't getting enough power (but I was driving two fairly substantial fans) to move much air and B) it only ran while the computer was on and the "damage" (e.g. extreme heat build up) was done while the car was sitting in the office parking lot all day in the sun.
With that setup, the Mini's fans would scream the whole way home (and with ~20 minute drive) it couldn't cool itself down (which was no improvement over the requirement for the fans in the first place).
I changed it to the always on 12v source with a switch and turned them on when I got out of the car at the office and turned them off when I got back it (they are on the loud side) and I never heard the Mini's fans again.
