if a computer fan is rated at 12v and you hook it up to 250w do you think it will still work after you burn it out in 3 seconds....

and even if you had 10 or 20 fans hooked up to it....which is just rediculous....each fan would be getting an equal amount of energy which would be 250 watts...which would blow every fan out and end up costing you more money...its just not practical

Heh, afraid this statement doesn't quite add up. Imagine volts as being little fishies swimming by in single file, and amperes as being how fast these fish can swim. Now imagine your computer fan as being a fishing net. Say your "net" can hold 20 little fishies and there are 60 little fishies swimming past in a stream. Now if these fish are very slow swimmers you could simply net them 20 by 20 until you have all 60, but if they happen to be lightning-fast swimmers there's no way you'll be able to catch them all. By the time you dump the first netful into your bucket 20 more will already be long gone.

Wattage is calculated by multiplying your volts by amperes (fishies X speed) and therefore as it is being used, available wattage drops. If you catch all 60 fish (watts) and you have a family of 5 to feed you can't very well give each of them 60 fish (unless you're Jesus Christ!), and therefore there would be only 12 fish available to each family member (unless some eat more than others).

Anyway, just wanted to clear this up and have a little fun while I was at it.

first off you wouldnt hook up a 550w power supply to your computer if its recomended to have a 250w one..the extra power will actually increase the processor speed causing the computer to generate more heat which the computer fan cant get rid of which will burn out your mother board eventually...thats like substituting alcohol for gasoline in your car...in time something will go wrong.....and a 250w power supply will most definatley burn out a tiny 12v fan....it just isnt practical...its kinda like unhooking your car battery and connecting it to a 9 v enegizer

but the point to my argument is that it isnt practical...which it isnt...and which is why most people if not all of them use an extention cord or a 12v power supply which both cost less than 10 dollars ....if you like making you life more difficult and have alot of money to waste on something you dont need than thats fine too

number 2 this is the dumbest thing you said because a computer only has 1 and i reapeat 1 hard drive

number 3 you dont need any more floppy drives because 1 no one uses floppys anymore 2 people use 3.5's or cd's and you can only use one at a time anyway...you cant run a 3.5 drive with a floppy drive at the same time ....and youll see the only way to do it is with a music cd already running.....and you dont need any more power than what is recomended because exces drivers such as printers and scanners have their own powersupply .....but you knew that didnt you

do you put a 75w light into a socket that says 40 w light recomended BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF FIRE....you most definatly can do it but its not fucking practical...all your arguments are about stuff that is not practical.....its like having a quart jar with brf/verm....you can do it but there is toooooo many negative effects to doin it...hence its not practical like all of your remarks

again you said devices like i said your wrong you cant have 2 hard drives in one computer..wtf i never said i was right but jesus christ common fuckin sense here...you cannot have more than 1 hard drive in your computer thats stupid
mayb ee you need to stop beatin off in your eye so you can read
