After seeing your fan setup it looks like there's
a fan on the lower card which has the yellow
plug (stereo).

Cards from top to bottom:

1) Video card
2) Sound card with joystick point (15 pin DSUB, 4 audio)
3) Winmodem ? I see an audio cable running from this
card, to what could be Aux on the sound card.
4) NIC card
5) Empty slot

Your machine uses a kind of bus extension - riser card,
and slots 4 and 5 are on the lower PCB assembly. I don't
think that has special properties in this case, but that
is purely a guess on my part. Some riser cards have
bus select issues.

If I was working on the machine, I would probably have to use a
horizontal airflow, rather than blowing air onto the
"face" of the card. You could move the sound card down to
slot five, but I expect Windows would want you to reinstall
the sound card driver package if you did that. It may not
be clever enough to "just work" if you move it. Moving
the sound card down to slot 5, would be for the purpose
of making more room for a video card cooling solution.

1) Video card --- Could blow air in this direction
2) --- if the card needs cooling...
3) Winmodem ? I see an audio cable running from this
card, to what could be Aux on the sound card.
4) NIC card
5) Sound card with joystick point (15 pin DSUB, 4 audio)

And you don't need to move anything, for your very first
test. It'll be OK to just run the new video card in slot
one, while you check for a BIOS screen.

To evaluate how much cooling the card needs, you can
use GPU-Z and get a temperature reading off the card
when it arrives. That's assuming Windows starts OK.
Normally, you would remove the old video card driver,
install the new video card, then install the new video
card driver. (Remember to unplug the computer, before
physically inserting the new card.) But doing a clean
driver operation won't be possible in this case,
so it'll just be a "hope for the best" installation.
You have to install a video card driver, to get the
screen to work at full resolution (bigger than 640x480
or 800x600 resolution).

This is GPU-Z. The "Sensor" tab at the top of the
dialog box, will show the video card temperature.
If it hits 90C, that's too hot for comfort (doesn't
leave any room for gaming or 3D operations). A convection
cooled card could easily hit 65C, and that
would be fine. If it was 90C, then I'd be planning
my cooling project :-)

You can try clicking this link, and see if it gives
you a file. I don't know if you can hot-link to this
or not. If this link doesn't work, use the other link
and "navigate" to the download. While this link
looks like it might work, I can't be sure.
