No, the fans do not stop at the same time.  The system can be up anywhere 
from 1 hour to 2 days (the longest it's made it) before this happens.  I 
have not had the case off when it has failed yet.  I suppose I can try 
that today just to see.  I'm also not sure if the fans are able to be spun 
by hand, but I will check.
