If built right, nope no problems. you need alot of ventilation because wood holds heat though, watercooling to external radiator may be a good choice

I've built a few wooden cases before, basically airflow is key. Places without airflow generally store heat and it can build up to a crazy amount. If you are designing a case, make sure you use a metal plate for mounting your motherboard or create some kind of common ground, it just helps with ESD and other electrical things(some motherboards won't function without a proper ground). Other than that, dust depends on the environment but its about the same as standard PC cases(nothing too problematic). Also if you are building a case, be careful with your cuts, non straight cuts stick out like a sore thumb.
