Yeah, I feel ya but fear not. A fan draws about .16 of an amp. My 6 fans should together draw about a whole amp (0.96A). But that's at 12V and the USB port only delivers 5V. 5V is 42% of 12V meaning the current draw will be about...

A detailed description... there isn't actually all that much detail. You basically connect the + lead from the fans to the + connector of the USB plug and vice versa. All you need is to find out what point in the USB connector...

To suck or to blow... all the same fellatio to me A simple extra pencil increases airflow substantially, adding a bit more is probably better but who knows what ideal is. It's a bit of a gut feeling. I'd go with the thinnest fans...

Death before dishonor!
