Maybe you need to grunge this up a bit? (if your game takes place 20 years in the future)
been working on it a bit more, looking like this right now...

It's difficult to really pin-point exactly what it is but I'll give it a go nonetheless.
1) My main issue with it is the rusting, it feels rushed and looks like it was just an afterthought. I would recommend having a look at numerous pictures of rusting metal to really get a grasp of how it tends to look, but judging by the picture posted by Zinco I'd say you need to focus the rust more towards the edges. Also, rust is where the oxygen has eaten away at the metal, which would affect its shape, maybe you can look at applying this the normal map a bit more, especially around the actual drawer itself.
*side note, maybe try to tone down the colour and intensity of the rust in your diffuse map and make the spec map do the work.
2) The other thing is that if my memory serves me well from my time served as a waiter the top part of cash registers often tend to be made of plastic whereas the drawer itself is metallic. I'm sure this is not always the case, but that particular design generally tends to be. Might be something worth looking at as it would add some variety to the model and make it a little more interesting.
3) This may seem picky but might be worth adding some subtle details into the model which shows the cash register had been used a lot. At the moment it would just appear to be a brand new unused item which has been left out for a while. Might be worth adding subtle indents on the buttons from having been pressed thousands of times, whilst also fading the numbers and words out a bit to add to the effect. Something else that would be very subtle but add to the effect would be to have some dents and cuts to the corners where maybe it had been knocked from time to time, or possibly even a large dent where the drawer is to suggest that somebody had tried to pry it open at some point.
Just food for thought. Like I said you have some really good foundations, now it's just about adding to that and taking these pieces from 'good' to 'amazing'. Really give every one of your pieces its own story, it does not have to be obvious and in your face but rather hint at it
starting to build together my scene, it's still very much WIP
