>LED illumination from the fans is also designed so that it doesnt dim / brighten when the fan speed is adjusted.
Sounds like teh zalman 7x00 fan. I wonder how this is achieved.

Maybe using a PTC thermistor? Or some kind of varistor? Or maybe the LED's have a separate voltage feed.

-is not an electrical-engineering guy-
I was thinking maybe there's a separate current split off some way for the LEDs. There's only one power connector.
