Ok.. well how much current does the PSU put out? or is that the wrong question?
could you elaborate? What's KVL? How much current does my little 25ohm resist?

Diodes drop voltage. An ideal drops voltage between .6 and .7 volts.
An Ideal diode? Do I need these diodes in my system?

Is there a good website that has a zillion illustrations?

If I wanted to hook up fans in series, how do I do it? How about parallel? hmmm?

And to clarify your situation up there, when you split up a line like you did with that 12v line, all the branching lines still have 12v. The only thing that changes is the current.
So do my fans run slower when they're all hooked together?

If someone's bored, they can take my diagram and label it, showing how much current, voltage, etc is going to each. Assume that the 172mm fan draws 1A (rated at 24V), and the 4 smaller fans draw .25A (each rated at 12V).
That would be great.
