Broken homepage in IE - problem with tables?

    As the title states, my homepage appears broken when viewed in any version of IE < 8. It displays fine in firefox, opera, safarai, etc.

    Based on the research I've done here and around the web I'm assuming this is the IE box model bug which is why it's displaying correctly in ie 8 but nothing prior. But I've also tried a number of workarounds (different dtd's, box model hack, etc) to attempt to prevent IE from going into quirks mode but I can't seem to stop it. Is this the box model bug that I'm encountering?

    Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :D

    No, it's not the box model bug and you are not in quirks but I'm out of town and don't have IE<8 to look at it with.

    I would validate your html at validator.w3.org. I see a lot of missing closing tags which IE might be fickle about.
