What does everybody think? Feedback & suggestions? Improvements?

Most of all, do you like it better than the current design?

Note: We are only changing the left, right, header and footer sections. The rest of the website will remain very similar if not the same.

im personally put off by sites with dark backgrounds, i dont know if thats just me
add capitals to titles, on the 6 sections in the middle, some start with caps, some don't...
I prefer the look of Overclocked to OverClocked

I have bad eyes and as a result always find it hard to read white on black, its a problem quite a lot of people have, it glares way too much. Its not bad but tbh needs a lot of work. Also apart from the capitalization others have pointed out for the middle sections, either have the title bar of each middle section the same as the top left one or have them the same as the rest, looks very odd mix and matched.

Thanks for the feedback so far. A few points to note:

1. Please ignore the middle section - the main area we are looking at is the left, right, top and bottom sections.

2. The screenshot was taken at 1024 x 768. As with our existing website this will be allowed to expand to 1280 width and will therefore look less cramped.

Nice layout,but I personally immediately lose interest in any sites with dark backgrounds.

I like.

I actually think the lower case looks good and suits the font and design, and contrasts well with the all upper case. Though yeah I guess you wouldn't wanna mix and match, with the exception of the nav bar which is fine. Footer's good with facebook/twitter integration. Colour scheme is great. Overall nice and spaced out, not too cluttered.

Plenty of room for a big shiny forum link at the bottom. :yes:

Make sure it is not too dark, I got driven away from a custom PC website due to the background being very dark, which made it look unprofessional.

Also the buttons at the top of the page will look good IMO if they were like curved on the edges, or had a highlight or change colour of the button when you hover over it :D

I personally prefer the old one. However, I don't think the new one is that bad, I think it has potential but I'd say things like the wordings like 'desktop' on the top left and 'laptop' needs to have capital letters, I think they should be 'Desktops' and 'Laptops' but that is my opinion. Also, I don't like the '-' between the 'over' and the 'clocked'. However, these are just my views, go by the majority.

I think the setup on post 12 looks good, but not really a fan of the dark really, just reminds me of alienware a little too much.

saying that I will still always buy from you guys anyway, :)

I quite like the new positive colour contrast at the top and bottom but with the negative contrast in the middle it might not be good for people with eyesight problems, if you could change the middle to follow the same style I think it would look pretty good :)

Could do with a more noticeable link to the forums? :p Just thought of that :)

+1 to that ;)

I like the darker look you have tried for the forums as i have eye problems looking at all the bright white web pages all day and tbh i wish more websites would go for a darker look, infact it's a real shame all websites can't be customised by the user to have a light or dark colour option so they can use what is better for themselves.
