Can someone ... who is more into this ... comment the picture ....
what do we see here, exactly?
For me ... it looks like they removed 12 chips and its still the same old board .... isn't ...it?

I see a lot wrong with this picture.
1. Power is applied reversed ( as some one else already pointed out) the Black wire is normal the ground wire.
2. The red wire in a PC is normally the +5 volt wire not 12 volt.
3. The wires don't even looked soldered just kind stuck in the holes.
