Since this caused confusion, let me rewrite this.

I am looking for cool wallpapers. What do you guys use for your MMX/PPro era (maybe even early Pentium 2) computers? That's all I am looking for, suggestions for wallpapers. It's a strange thing to ask, I understand, but I am just looking for something neat, and possibly 3Dfx branded that is period correct.

I'd take a photo of the inside of the case and used that as a wallpaper. Then I could always see the innards even when it's closed.

Shame on us, doomed from the start
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts

There dont seem to be wallpapers dedicated to the Voodoo 1 card ifself, which is a shame.
I think the next best thing would be using a wallpaper from a game that is associated with Voodoo - Quake, Mechwarrior 2, NFS2, Turok, etc.

My builds!
The FireStarter 2.0 - The wooden K5
The Underdog - The budget K6
The Voodoo powerhouse - The power-hungry K7
The troll PC - The Socket 423 Pentium 4

Actually, a Quake 1 wallpaper might be cool.

My computer goes on the desk. Recycle bin next to the desk and all your shortcuts go on the bookshelf.

Ah, now I get it.

A library near me actually had a desktop wallpaper that had names and categories for the different applications.

I think I found a Quake wallpaper that would look nice:
