So far it looks pretty good! I haven't wondered into the source yet, though.
First thing I see wrong: in Opera 6, on the index the header image has a space. It looks like this:
______________________________________________ __________ / News and Announcements \
'
In IE 6 it looks fine. In Opera if you haven't put your mouse over the top links (Homepage, Members, etc...) a blank space appears until the image is loaded. Opera doesn't like the CSS Scrollbar at all. Looking in your source the STYLE area is outside of the HEAD tag, and it has alot of unnecesary line breaks. With a closer look you have to HEAD tags. One inside the BODY tags, another above. Transfter the HEAD tags inside the BODY tags into the HEAD tags above the BODY tags. The whole page has tons of unneeded line breaks making it hard to read the source.
The META tags are missing two things: The DESCRIPTION meta tag needs quotes around the NAME attribute. The KEYWORDS meta tag doesn't have a NAME attribute, it needs it. What is 'name my phone' doing in your KEYWORDS tag?
SCRIPT should have a TYPE attribute (type='text/javascript'). Your images need ALT attributes.
First impression is it looks very nice in IE 6 and decent in Opera 6. When I went into the source code my thoughts changed. I liked it before I looked in the source code. Just fix those problems and you'll have a right nice layout IMO.

On an old 13" monitor, I can hardly distinguish your logo from the black background. Also, your site name graphics on top to the right and left are very hard to read. As for the top nav buttons with blue mouse overs - I cannot read them at all. You really need to take a look at it on a small monitor if you have the opportunity to see the problems I'm talking about.
Otherwise, I like your colors and the site is fast loading and seems well organized.
I like it.. the colors are nice and relaxing, I can read everything fine, and it loads quick. Not to mention its got a nice tech-stylish look to it which people really dont take into consideration enough, but your target audience is definately going to appreciate it.
You know the mouse (Logitech MX-700) you have in your header was designed by BMW (the car company). Kind of off topic but interesting
