...But don't insert it into the AGP slot, and then turn on the computer?

Core meltdown? Reactor containment breach? Division by zero of the universe? :)

Presumably the fan would still work?

So you'd a get lot of noise and not much use out of it aside from heating your room.

You'd better be careful though, the card may just start flying away taking your PC for a ride with it. ;)
 
not much

Nothing special happens. The fan doesn't spin, the card doesn't ignite. YMMV.

PNY GeForce FX 5800 Ultra.
