OK this just freaks me out...I switched my box off a few minutes ago and while sitting here I notice that there is a light on, So I take a closer look and it is the lights from the fans, which are STILL spinning!? 2 of the big fans in my case are spinning at very low speed. I have even unplugged the power and they are still spinning and the lights are on. Please someone tell me what the heck is going on? lol

EDIT: OMG lol I just found out why - I had a VGA cable plugged from my laptop into my GFX card - That was why. I was actually trying to see if I could use my laptop display with my desktop, which I discovered you cant. :D ROFL thought I was tripping for a second

Might be some residual power left in some of the components/psu. Unplug the actual fan cables and they should stop :)
 
My, what BIG capacitors you have! :)

Surely they stop eventually?
 
Off and Unplugged are two different things.

My network lights still flash and I can charge things on some of my USB ports even when my PC is off.

lol - tripping blonde! :D
 
So you actually connected your VGA cards (OUTPUT) to your laptop's VGA (OUTPUT). I don't think that is a good idea but I might be wrong. In fact I was wondering if its possible to use a laptop as a display.

It was probably not the smartest idea no.....Anyway everything still works fine. Nope dont think it is possible.
