Sweet build! Absolutely love how that GPU fills the entirety of the available space :D

One question: doesn't the window make the GPU run much hotter?

good question, lemme test


so the Dan Case plexiglass is raised from the aluminum panel by about 5mm allowing airflow from all directions (the Dan logo is also carved out of the plexiglass allowing airflow)

Wow, those thermals are not bad at all - I've seen worse from vertical GPU mounts in huge ATX cases pushing the GPU fans into a sheet of plexi or tempered glass. As you say, it looks like the spacing-out of the window as well as the logo actually being cut out makes for quite decent airflow. Obviously a well thought out and executed design!
