Overall, the page has a very nice visual feel to it. However, I did notice
one thing, pertaining to the image of the server. The bottom of the server
can clearly be seen aligned with the first row of navigation (Home -
Archives - Contact - FAQ). However, on the second row of navigation
(Policy - Navigation - Updates), I can see the image of the server
continuing on down again.

Also, on the first row of navigation, at the far right side, there is a
design made up of four circles of increasing size. These circles are
repeated at the end of the second row of navigation, but the bottom-most
circle appears to be chopped off. Then, in the center column of the table, I
see the same series of circles used as a background, but there are two more
circles to the design, which both appear to be chopped off. I like the idea
of having a repeating image like this, but I do think it should be a
complete image in all cases.

Other than these things, the color and layout of the page are quite visually
appealing.
