I need a new wallpaper!
Thisis what I have now, any suggestions?

No seriously, I'm talking about the computer kind of wallpaper. I used to have a wallpaper of the game Still Life, but it sucked because it was too dark, so I couldn't see when my computer was busy and the custom very dark cursor I use did a tiny little animation.
For now I nicked a SYL wallpaper, but I don't really like it. My notebook has a resolution of 1400*1050 (whacko IBM) so smaller wallpapers look fuzzy (and it is also very dark, and made me discover dead pixels!!).
So what do people around here stare at during less exciting times? Any suggestions for wallpapers for me? It would have to be 1280*1024 at least, preferably 1600*1200 or even larger.
I already searched this forum for wallpapers but they were all too small.

Fantastic film. I only saw it recently, but thought it was really good. Weird to think that the actual story is 50 or 60 years old.

Play around with the settings in the search engine and find some other cool stuff.

Lots of cool pictures there. Good links.

Yeah Metropolis is my favourite Anime next to Perfect Blue. At first i was thinking "the animation is like freaking tin-tin!". But then i never saw any Astro Boy and remembered that Japanimation has changed style int he last 50 years (well duh)

Get some nice high res photography.
Like these ones from the Cremaster projects:

poke around on deviantart and I'm sure you'll find something interesting that someone has made that's all nice and high res.

Or something like this to please your pee pee.
