    Ok, well i have had a lot of trouble coding a layout with brushes in it, and if you plan to make that content box expand, you may have some trouble with it looking extremely messed up. If it is just a normal content box though, you should be fine. BTW your site is extremely good. I like how the HL2 theme is carried through the whole site. Just one question though, how long did that take you?
    A definate 10/10 my friend.

    Sweet layout, the text could be cooler though
    The size is also better(compared to its first size)
    9/10 :D
    Your site is going to look really nice

    Thanks for all the drops guys, and yeah... we'll see how the brushing affects the layout, ;) It took about 2 hours by the way.

    Remove the tech brushes from the content area and you might have something, but as far as my personal preference goes, I don't like a singel bit of it.

    Erf... why i cant make so good tech style:/ Thats why for me it looks just awesome :) The only "bad" thing i can see in here is color of the fonts. Its to light and when im looking at it my eyes are screaming to stop that :P Make fonts a little bit darker and then i would give ya 10/10

    Alright, fixed the banner text so it's easier to read, and not as bright, and also added the hl2 insignia ingraved into the side nav bar, to fill up that empty space. ;)

    As Cheeky said, its looking better every time. However, the style in which those side bars are it looks like it should stretch the whole width of the page, so you might want to expand the banner and have parts with similiar pixels so when its put into tables, it can stretch to the page width (if that made any sense).

    Lotsa tutorials floating around I'm sure.
