it shouldnt take power from your CD drive, its gotta be a dodgy PSU if it does that, have you got another one yyou can try? i

if your PSU can handle a 8800 GTS then it surely could handle your optical drive, try another drive as well as PSU

Its because all of the molex connectors are linked... of each other anyway ive managed to get 1 fan going with out any trouble
