It's not really for exhaust, it's more for aesthetic looks
Cant understand the point of exhaust fans in an open air case.

That would actually look really good in my case. I did make my case ready for custom water cooling, i just need to take the big step
Neat! I would imagine something like this could go nicely with EK's wooden watercooling parts as well, although I'm not sure if they make them with the same type of wood you used as well.

Did you see the orientation of the fan blades near the GPU? Could be wrong if its an optical illusion, but looks oriented to blow out to me.
I don't see any exhaust fans, there are intakes and it looks like the air from the back of the case goes to the gpu, cool air to the gpu and exhaust out the top of the case. For the front of the case, the air is being brought in through the rad to cool the rad. Something to remember, heat rises. So it shouldn't be an issue for the back of the gpu(already having a plate on the back of it anyway).

I really think this case would look good as an enclosed case (rather than open air case), which would also satisfy a couple of reasons for a case - dust prevention and creation of air flow pathways for better cooling of components. I'm not a fan of open air cases, I think they're pretty pointless, a test bench is one thing, and then you have enclosed cases on the other, I don't like the middle ground - worst of both worlds in my view! I think it's an interesting case though and it's professionally done, the wood & mirrors are quite unique, I think it would be pretty cool as an enclosed case.
