| These are exactly what I was talking about. They are all based on the same linear Operational Amplifier and should work fine for a small fan. Be sure to check the current rating on the fan to be sure you won't over-load your control circuit.
Were you wanting to control a mains powered fan? if so.... make sure you do your homework on working with mains power. Its dangerous, so dont rush in.
