I think it's fairly obvious what my question is.

The cake is a rickroll.

step 1) plug fan into outlet
step 2) move switch to desired speed setting

*cough cough* func_rotating

Or if you want to get complicated... func_physbox + phys_hinge + phys_torque (or phys_motor, but I prefer torque for more realistic turning).

But yeah, a func_rotating will get your basic rotating fan.

Make a func_rotating entity, give it the invisible texture, make a prop_dynamic/prop_physics, parents the prop to the rotater,change the speed/direction/sound to what you want.

DONE!
