Yeah, three was my least favorite as well in its static form. You can't see it now but all that stuff would be very dynamic, not just standing in place, but I guess when all the comotion stops it will still be pretty dull. The rough edges are just because its a rough draft btw, I am making these quickly so I don't waste time.
That color coded menu thing, I have to say (though it might sound cocky), is probably the best idea I've had so far. I agree that the site is plain, it was bothering me and I wanted to see if anyone else thought the same. I actually tried to make a version where the main content area changes to the color of the corresponding tab but it was too overwhelming on the eyes.
I'm thinking, now, of maybe sticking in an image slideshow or color strip on the right side (thin vertically), just to add a point of interest. Will post that later.

I have two additional ones. Do you guys think that it would be more impressive if the site was all technical looking like in #6 or more design based?
BTW, #5 is not the actual site, it is a loading screen which opens from the middle to reveal the actual site.
