        Search is always case insensitive - http://me.lt/7ZVGv.

        What it can really influence is  CTR for SERP. By the way #1 site for your example show up for me.

        But be carefully to avoid "looks like spam" snippet for you site.

          To be honst you can not go "down" in the serps for using CAPS in the way they have done.

          In the end of the day it comes down to on site and off site SEO factors and how powerful the site is.

          If you span with CAPS then yeah you may go down.

          The first site in that example is interesting, I am sure the CTR is decent.

            I don't think you can negatively influence your ranking if you use one capped word. I do think that people will be less likely to click on that result. It's harder to read (proven with numerous studies) so I don't suggest you do the same.

            If your entire title is on big mash up of capped words, that I think google would consider spammy. But I don't know if they devaluate your title, of simply uncap the words.

              I am a title SEO cowboy myself, and i had the second place on the work "Flyttemand" (Mover) and i had all my titles whit the first word in CAPS, only ONE word, but since my site rank 1-3 in over 300 importen words and it become a VERY importen income in our firm, i got afraid the next "panda update" might hit sites acting like this...

              After reading the Google SEO book, i made the titel shot and precise just like they say, but changing site titel, put my down in all results, so its REALLY importen to set them up 100% correct one time for all.

              We lost alot of clicks changing to not caps and move 2-8 places down cost some income, god think is they move back up slowly, but its like Google notice title is new and then some of you linking to this site not work so well, but when google see the links remaining you move back up... or... you just get a algorithm pennlti for changing titles.

              Thx for all your replys!!
