    Desktop Backgrounds

    Where is a good place to get free 1280x1024 (or better) desktop images that are based on games/anime?

    I'm bored of my windows media random swirls one, so need a new one

    Unforntunately I don't know where to look. Story of my life. Help me out?

    Thanks

    You know there's something wrong with the world when you're digging through 'anime' backgrounds and all that comes up is Hentai...

    It can be when you've got windows dreamscenes active and a nice video as the wallpaper

    I used to employ stuff like this all the time. But now, I have the video of John Terry slipping onto his arse when taking a penalty against Man Utd in the champions league final instead as my PC is now used by all the girlfriends children

    if you've got windows Vista Ultimate and want a tool for getting good backgrounds then check the following ;

    With Windows 7, one can have a slideshow as their desktop. Mine changes every 30mins.
