I guess you would prefer the Boxed with the longer warranty and fan?

Not really. I rarely collect on warranties. I do not like the hassle. Technically the warranty is void on a Celeron once you overclock. It is probably difficult to prove but the assumption will be made even if you do not.

I would also prefer to choose and install my own fan.

I have heard tale of better quality CPUs in the boxes but I do not think the claims hold up. The quality distribution is most likely random.

In short..six of one and a half dozen of the other.
