PSoC 1 will be more useful while operating in closed loop. That is, if you have any temperature sensor outside and want to control the fan speed based on the temperature.  Even after doing this, there will be still lot of resources left to integrate other functions (depends on the selected PSoC 1 family also).

Have look at the video in this page http://www.cypress.com/?rID=67113 .This video demostrates PSoC1 doing thermal management using BLDC fans and few temperature sensors.

   

Thanks,
