18? Now that is impressive.
I currently have about 11 fans (2 fans on my TRUE Spirit 140 CPU heatsink hence the edit), including PSU, HSF and Graphics card fans in my current rig. Generally, I have the philosophy of in at the front and side, out at the back and top. So air comes in cool, goes through the "hot bits" of the PC and goes out hot. Not sure if it works 100% effectively but my GTX 780 peaks at around 65c, and my CPU, clocked at 4.3Ghz currently (An i5 2500K) tops out at 60c on stress tests and much lower in general use.
All of my fans are controllable too though. The case has a fan controller and the main CPU fan has an external controller, the rest are software controlled aside from the PSU which is quiet). In winter/Netflix use I shut off all the fans I can and turn the rest to minimum so my PC is as close to silent as possible.
