Correct. You can safely disconnect the fan. It will run very hot wit no fan, but it will be fine.
If you decide to go the Papst route, get the quitest one you can find. They always have a noise level indicated on the box.
You can also get one with a speed regulator - when you turn it down (it will go slower, but still fast enough for proper cooling) the fan will be completely inaudible.
The fan should last about 6 months (we are talking about 24h, constant working cycle). After that period you will probably have to replace the fan, since they get noisier with age (just like the fan in computer PS). But at 20$ it is no biggie.
The replacement of the fan is very easy. Its beeing held by 4 screws.
