Any reason for "No Fan"?

Card of these age and speed don't run very hot so no fan is common.  As long as it has a nice big heatsink, it will take care of the heat pretty well.

That Dell case isn't expecting a bunch of extra heat from a vid card.  It's likely designed with only one system fan, hooked to an air duct over the processor- and that isn't designed to exhaust the heat from a hot vid card.  Cards with fans tend to be cards that make a lot of heat.

Also, fans are noisy, and noise sucks.  :D
