The fans in 400MHz Pismos never come on... in 500MHz ones, it's rare.
I assume it's not the fan you're hearing, but rather the hard drive -- Toshiba drives (as were very common in Pismos) tend to get noisy with age. It doesn't harm data, they just get loud.

i heard the fan in my pismo400 for the first time ever 2 days ago...was pretty surprised.
(it's loud)
10.3.2, airport-enabled; was downloading from 2 apps, emailing, listening to music, etc.
whew!
but thrilled to be doing all that at once

I haven't noticed my fan coming on too much now that summer is over. I have a 900 mhz Pismo and the fan used to come on a lot when it was 90 - 100 degrees over summer. I bought an active USB cooler from antec over the summer and I'd turn it on every time I started ripping a DVD or doing CPU-intensive stuff. It seemed to help a bit, but now the weather is so cold all the time that I don't get to use it much.
Here's the notebook cooler that I bought: http://www.antec-inc.com/us/pro_deta...p?ProdID=75004
