I ended out swapping the motherboard out for a full size ATX Intel 370. ( Asus CUSL2 ) The case has good ventilation with both side panels perforated. So I can blow air in or out which is best with this case ? I only have the one rear fan to add.

You want to eliminate bottle necks that will hamper performance. Bottle necks to consider. 1) Hard drive vs. CF card or SSD. 2) Video card performance. 3) CPU performance. That motherboard may support faster CPU’s like 486dx4-100 or 5x86-133 Either way that motherboard is a good choice and start. …
