hehe... streamyx down for 3 days, didn't see your post...

yup, the fashion nowadays are more to simplicity...
ermmm...... I should tell you that the timeline of web design
fashion something is like this:
02/03 > future machinery look (like yours)
03/04 > xp style
04/05 > aqua/gel style
05/06 > simple/tidy/clean design

well, of course you can remain this design,
some websites are still using this style,
however you should polish it a bit...

if you want to polish it, here's my suggestions:

1. background colour
for this kind of design, the background is usually dark in colour...
plain milky yellow background is seriously outdated,
and doesn't fit to your design at all...

2. details
the shadows make everything seems like floating,
especially the 3 cords connecting those 2 panels...
and then the absense of details like dusts, textures etc
make the panels look 'fake'...

3. width of texts
as jayhan said, the width of the texts is too long...
this makes texts unreadable...

that's all for this time,
don't give up, keep on your good works...
