Well, the fan is there to remove the exess heat generated by a running CPU, if you shut off the CPU, there will be no more exess heat generated, and the existing heat will most assuredly be dissipated to less active cooling mechanism. Since you cannot damage the CPU, or other pieces of the hardware, this should cause no problem. And i think the G3 processor is not so hot running, that it will be so much above the safe temperature state. Friendly, Sven LUTHER
