    Hi

    Thanks for the opportunity, a few things:
    - You have a typo in the first paragraph... Viewers then are allowed to vote on which Mac setups are best
    - I've always like the diagonal lines in a background with gradient fill, you might want to look a little closer at the diagonals though, they seem a little jittery.
    - I'd probably make your banner clickable to get to the home page
    - It's a nice idea, i like how it tracks your past votes without login
    - Wonder if the home page needs some 'top 10', or even the winning setup?
    - Your ads really stand out at the top, they go into the gradient fill, you might want to try to blend this a little more
    - Functionally I wonder if you could add a comments before voting. People could then read the comments on the top 10 page and additionally it would add more text content to your site that changes regularly for spiders.
    - The VS. image between the two images looks a little cheap by comparison to the rest of the site.
    - I'd be interested to know how many pix are live right now, is this something that can be added?

    Thanks again, hope it helps.

    Jay

    I think that is a good idea, but maby there is a way to fix the hight and lenght scale of the pictures... so they have the right scale.

    The scale is dependant on the size a user uploads them. The site will automatically adjust the size to work on the site.

    Nice layout, but is comparing pictures of computer setups going to be a too little to keep the audience's attention?
