Fantastic wallpapers! We need some section of deploying them together like a gallery for simpler download - I presume that anyone would appreciate retro wallpapers from vendors or PC offerers - I remember, that in my time, old AT came with a sticker from that company and a wallpaper even a carton box had their logo... such a nice come-to-client that was... in any case, I would volunteer to get this into making, providing my hardware to host this 😀

A one stop organized spot for all these would be awesome!

What about ELSA?

This has got to be my favorite. I love the "blue steel" look the guy has, and even the cosmic eagle is rockin' some ELSA glasses.

Happy Holidays Vogoners,
Inspired by the Rolling Stones, Paint it black. I present my custom desktop theme. The Icons were edited by me and made black. The wallpaper is actually a tile i color changed, and should fit any resolution. In the folder theres also the most retro boot logo for 9X, and the now famous flyby2 screen saver posted by LGR.

If you like black like I do, this is for you. Guaranteed to increase your FPS in retro games.

The boot logo doesn't apply itself, and neither does the Mydocs icon so those you will have to fix yourself if you want to use them. Place the files in the Plus folder and apply the theme or do whatever you want.

The more time it passes the more old PCs i build and the more i need wallpapers, so i created a bunch that i actually ended up liking.

Most of them have reconstructed box arts from the GPU i use and a slightly altered layout.

I have most of the original for way-back-then. I will post (hopefully it won't be stuff people already posted).

Can we post wallpapers with cars or girls also or just techy stuff? I found a big load on my apple yesterday.

You might have a higher quality version of a previous wallpaper, so absolutely upload everything!

What's that Placa thing? It says it's some kind of audio processor but it's some kind of giant breakout connector on the back.

After looking it up, it's an Argentinian soundcard from Audiocom. ADX 925X from 1996. I'll quote the page I'm reading. Kinda interesting.

"The Audicom cards are a family of PC audio cards developed by Solidyne. They were intended for the broadcasting market and some models included the Audicom broadcasting system.

In mid 80's Solidyne, a broadcast manufacturer company, started the project of recording audio in a PC to automate the spots emission (at that time done by cartridges). By that time, the hard disk were very expensive and extremely small (a PC hard drive allowed 10MBytes of storage), so the engineers knew that they needed to develop a system to reduce the required bits as much as possible in order to be successful. The result was the ECAM audio system, the first system was showed to the 'Secretaria de Ciencia y Tecnica de la Nacion de la Republica Argentina' in 1988.

Models

ADX 903
ADX 922
ADX 925
ADX 925 Serie X
SX 48
SX 46
DSP 48

Edit: Hold on Audiocoms wiki page says "Audicom was the first system in the world to record and play audio from a PC computer, beginning in 1988 the era of digital recording that would eliminate recorders from magnetic and cassette tape used for half a century".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audicom

I'm in no way an audio expert, but is this true? 1988 sounds very late to me.
