Screenshots from the newer iTunes visualizers can make pretty good desktop pictures.

Why not do your own? You can get Bryce (landscapes), Daz 3d (figures), Wings 3d (models), etc., for free.

You just need to create a size that fills the screen.

I'm not great at making things from scratch in Photoshop, but I've made some decent abstract wallpapers using a combination 3DS MAX and Photoshop before.

Here's one of the last wallpapers I made...

(Battlezone is a game from 1998; box cover: http://www.wreckamovie.com/system/shot_ ... ne-r-h.jpg)

What resolution is the screen?

Here are two websites I have used for a few years. There are some free (lower quality) wallpapers for non paying members

www.gamewallpapers.com

www.cgwallpapers.com

Available in 4:3 - 16:9 - 16:10

okay, here's what i have in mind - a gothic themed background that's black & purple that would contain these images:

oh, and i'd like to add a thick frame to go well with the wallpaper, too. hope that helps.

Do you mean all those in one image? That would be a little hard to balance. You should check out a program called Gimp, its an open source image editor similar to photo shop. I made my avatar in it and its got a lot of filtering and effects stuff you can run on an image.
