I am building a web browsing/word processing computer for my grandad, and the MicroATX case I chose came with one fan, which I think is fine for the AMD A4-5300 dual core. He has one of those desks with a computer slot underneath, a wooden enclosed area, with a hole at the back for the cables. If you would like to see something similar to his desk, here is an image.
I am replacing a cheap 2002 atx pentium 3 or 4 computer, which takes 15 minutes to boot to XP.
Should I place an exhaust case fan at the back, front, or left hand side above the CPU? I am using stock cooling for the CPU.
Thank you, and please no component reccomendations, or asking me to buy another fan. I would just like to know where to position the fan.
