Quick question about fan orientation...

I just built my friend an ultra low end rig just to get him by with surfing and typing. I bought him this case

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-156-019&depa=1

Now it comes with two 60mm fans as exhaust fans in the lower right side, I am only going to be keeping these 2 fans and in those locations since I would have to do alot to mod a fan in the back, so I dont know if they will better help as both exhaust, both intake, or 1 of each. Any input would be appreciated.

The cpu is an AMD Sempron 2400, only one harddrive, and an external dvd burner (less heat inside).
 
From the new egg pics it looks like there is room for more fans in the front? And what's the holes in the back for? If you are only going to use 2 side fans I think I would have them both blowing on the board. It would at least get some cooler air inside the case and on the board.
 
ok thanks, thats what i figured i was going to do. he is only going to use it at most a couple of hours a day and isnt going to leave it running so I dont think he needs to bother buying more fans for the front. I cant fit a fan in the rear because of his MB, I could modify it but I just dont think its necessary because of the nature of his needs.
