that’s quite slick! I’m really fussy though, so I’d be aligning things just a bit more. ie: the links sit low in their :hover backgrounds, the stripe at the top of the graphic doesn’t quite line up with the stripe in the page background, and the left margin of ‘Latest news’ doesn’t quite line up with the posts (needs a proper indent or none at all).
Also, (told you I was fussy!) I’d pay attention to the text “Power – Precision …” etc. it’s a graphic, so you could really work some nice typography. I’d also look at something to lift it and the logo off the background pic. The background pic which is reversed… I’d fix that too!
Very good ‘professional’ adaptation of the software though!
