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.

How is the power applied backwards? Wouldn't the outermost 3 pins be the ground, and then innermost 3 pins be the 12V line? IIRC, a PCIe 6pin jack that would be attached to the board would look like this:

12V _______
|
GROUND _____ |
| |
|========BOARD=====================================

On a 6-pin PCIe power connector, the negative wires are those nearer the plastic latch, so unless it's planned for the latch to face the bottom side of the board (dumb), the wires do appear to be connected backward.

With that said, they can use whatever wire colors they want for testing really. There's no reason they couldn't have the black wire connected to positive. It just looks dumb.
