The chassis fan isn't particularly important, especially if you leave the side off (if you want you can stick a table-top fan blowing into the case, that's what I do with one of mine). If you go into the BIOS settings (usually pressing DEL while it's first booting, before it goes into Windows -- some BIOS use ALT-F2 or something else, but it should say during the boot sequence) there should in one of the menus be a way to tell it that you don't have a fan (or not one which senses speed) so ignore it. It's often under "Health Checks" or an 'advanced' menu, along with things like voltage options. Unfortunately even knowing the BIOS manufacturer doesn't help to predict where such things are, they all change them a lot in each version (especially laptops).
Although I'm a Linux person, I'm not an accounting one (I rarely even use a spreadsheet for anything) so I can't help with GnuCash except that I'm told it's now a lot better than it was a year or so back. It will directly import from MS Money and Quicken, and probably others as well (it's supposed to be pretty compatible).
