Thanks Glen, I did read your fine article but it did not quite help me on a very specific electrics query (I don't want to buy things, plugs, adaptors any more! And I did study your pics.) I have fans lying around and they all basically have two wires, a + and a - and I suppose I wanted to tap into things in my usual crude way: red + of the fan to red and the neg to which other wire of the 4 that go to HDs in a 7300? I have also got to check what load the PSU will take, it will surely handle my new Seagate 10000 LVD and a standard Apple HD, the CD and a fan drawing about .2 of an amp (otherwise it is easy to supply the fan from an external source).

When 9600 fans were discussed about a year and a half ago direction of rotation and which way the air was blown was considered.
The DC motors AFAIK don't care which way they spin. But an electrical engineer may write to say I'm full of bean gas.
