bajorgensen that would of course have voided your warranty. A replacement fan might not cool the system properly leading to higher temperatures than would otherwise be the case. Now so long as the temperatures don't get too hot you'd hopefully be O.K. but NetGear does optimise fan control etc. for the fans they use and other fans may not do an adequate job.
I don't think disabling the PSU fan was a good idea either. Any fans used would be used with good reason. If it isn't properly cooled the PSU could overheat.
