preferred fan speed control methods?

[Bill McGonigle]

Googling around a bit I see there are a few different ways to go  
about fan speed control under linux.  I've got a couple very noisy  
servers that are well under operating range for their components and  
I'd like to slow down the fans a bit so the people sitting near them  
suffer less hearing loss.

Does anybody have preferred tools?
