Just wondering if you would put fans in all slots, or just in specific ones?

Never built a PC before so this is probably a stupid question, but worth asking i guess :')

Depending on the hardware that you want to put in it.

Different fan placements can give better airflow & overall better cooling.

Stock fan placements will do for most people.

You want the airflow to go from front to back so the rear is exhausting the air.

Or you can have it so the top exhausts the air if you have a watercooler

Or, in your case, you can whack a fan filter on the back fan, use that as intake, and have an watercooler in the front as exhaust.

or you can do the same above but have the AIO as intake.

Possibilities are endless

For a case like that you'd want more intake that outtake for a positive pressure and less dust build up so have Two/three in the front and one in the back if I was you I'd run that at 5v
