Found by accident this stash of OEM graphics, logos and wallpaper adjacent type materials, even if the actual wallpapers are few...

http://cs.gettysburg.edu/~duncjo01/archive/patterns/OEM/

Note the edu domain, this means this might disappear at any time due to student/staff moving on or the Universities site structure being revamped, so get anything you might need now.

Nice ! will grab some. Thanks !

I recently made this for my own V3 3000 machine, specs listed below.

The original wallpaper was from Hololive Justice, namely Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame (E.R.B)'s "starting soon" screen.

I resized it to 4:3, and did a bit of GIMP work to fuse it with one of the 3dfx wallpapers circulating around the webz. Not sure if the original 3dfx wallpaper I used came from here though.

Rather nice innit.

And, for those that love some specs:

MB - MSI K7 Pro/MS-6195 IR3
CPU - Athlon K7 Thunderbird, Slot A
GPU - Voodoo 3 3000 16MB AGP
SPU - SB Audigy 1394 SB0090 (might have to downgrade IMO, gotta yank out the SB Live from the parts bin.)
LAN - RTL8169SC Gigabit
USB - NEC USB2.0
RAM - 640MB PC133
HDD - 40GB Seagate - I also have a spare drive for 3dfx testing, a 20GB Quantum Fireball lct15 with a vanilla 98SE install (except USB drivers which are needed for file transfers)
ODD - LG/Hitachi, GSA-4120B.

I am also currently doing some WIP for AMD, Aureal Vortex, Creative, ABIT, DFI and a few more. I have also previously made a custom BIOS screen for my ABIT AB9 in a similar way.

Do you guys know of any retro wallpapers from GIGABYTE? I can't find anything that's not very modern on Google 😒

Will check a few my older Giga cd's to see if something lays buried..

None of the cd's had anything, not even on the Video card ones....except this GIF and one small jpg off a newer driver cd...

OK, thanks anyway. I suppose Gigabyte weren't as established in the 90s as they are now.

Maybe on their old (now gone AFAIK) ftp site ?? Odd that even companies like BFG, Asus, etc had them back in late 90's.
Will add these since there are no others yet....

Found a few here as well: https://www.pxfuel.com/en/query?q=gigabyte+motherboard although their retro wallpaper merit is questionable.

Here's an link on IA to a wallpaper for Acer travelmate series laptops. Found it on an old install of XP on an travelmate 6003 something.

I found this amazing Flickr profile with lots of VIA related high quality pictures. It's as if it was frozen in time.
Enjoy!

Found these nVidia Geforce 8800 wallpapers while looking for something else, did not see them posted yet. The visible one is resized but
Inside zip is the original 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1400x1050, 1620x1200 and 2048x1536 size .jpg from 2006

Windows logo tiling wallpaper, inspired by the old Mac OS wallpapers. Optimized for 640x480 resolution.

I have transfered some wallpapers from old windows installs I had laying around so I could share them with you guys.
Thinkcenter wallpapers, although they also fit any modern lenovo PC from the think series: https://archive.org/details/think-blue
Samsung wallpapers from the XP era: https://archive.org/details/02-space-of-harmony-01_202502
Fujitsu siemens OEM picture for the OEM info: https://archive.org/details/oemlogo_20250225
(^the picture is in .bmp format, so don't get confused by the old google earth logo)

Funny to see some of my older creations here in this threat. I'm gonna leave this one here which I made not too long ago and it might be useful for someone out there. 😀

Very beautiful indeed!

Could you possible render it to a select few other resolutions? (I use 1280x1024 for example) and probably people also run 800x600 or maybe even 640x480

The bigger the render the better. It can always be resized smaller in a picture editing application; he doesn't need to render all of the smaller resolutions specifically.

You can cheat to make it look good without stretching by having it centered as a background and using a black desktop color as well.

Thanks for the compliment.

I actually made this render in different resolutions. The zip with all the pics can be downloaded on my DeviantArt -> https://www.deviantart.com/arrow-4-u/art/Pent … Pack-1024325296

DANG,

Now I had to sign up for an account 🤣 Great work - also the other ones!

Hey everyone! Just discovered this topic!
Made this Compaq wallpaper a while back, currently using it on my main systems, figured you guys would appreciate it if I posted it here:

Perhaps I might buy an old Nec Ready (9905 to be exact) build in eBay... Any cool official or unofficial proper wall for that, dudes?
