Hi,
It probably doesn't really matter, but since i'm not happy with the current spot I'm curious about what the best spot for this fan is.
I'm asking because this fan can't be mounted with screws in this part of the case and it takes quite some effort with tiewraps to get it right so.

So should I move more inside the case like this (led will reach the mobo better):

Or should I move it right in the front like this (led will show better through front panel)

I don't think it really affects the airflow, but it's the last thing i gotta do to complete this build 😛

I honestly don't think it's better in the first one..i never really seen a case where the fan is on the side with the motherboard. But the front should be better to get airflow for the hard drive. I would invest in one more fan however for optimal airflow.
