I have three fans inside my current desktop PC box, in addition to the CPU
fan, the power supply fan and the video card fan. Also, each of the two
hard drives in the box have their own fans. That's a total of eight fans -
damned thing ought to be able to levitate on its own.

My SATA drive box also has a fan.

I wonder about your point there, too...that all these fans are using
energy the computer's power supply has to provide. But what the hell...I
am just an English major.


Well, it depends. If the fans are running on the 120v line voltage, then
the computer's power supply is not affected by the load. But in the case of
USB powered devices, the load is on the computer's power supply.

Well, I never claimed to be an 'lektricety maven...None of the fans are
or seem to be connected to USB ports. The SATA box has lots of pretty
lights, too, and apparently they can be made to perform some sort of
light show. Gotta love the few remaining geeks at HP.
