Electric Circuits: please look at this diagram...help!

I'm so clueless when it comes to electric circuits. After the CPA exam in a couple of weeks, I'm going to learn...
But for now, I wired up my fans so that I could control them. I am experiencing a few anamolies, which I'd like to have explained.
When I switch either the 92mm fan or the 80mm fans from the 5v line to the 12v line, they slow waaay down. It doesn't seem to affect the 172mm fan that is running on the same line. Should it?
I don't know what the hell I screwed up. You'll probably laugh when you see what I did...
What kind of circuit do I have, anyway? If you plug multiple hard drives into the same power lead from the PSU, what kind of circuit is that? help!!!
