Lots of different types of imagery to choose from there. just browse around, see what you like, support some independent artists if you feel like it, and find similar artists making interesting content. Some of the fractal art makes for especially pleasing backgrounds imho.

Speaking of which, the "spanky" fractal database has been a long-time favorite (since 1994!). i still use a rotation of their lyapunov fractals on one of my computers.

They also have a section supporting the fractint software, if you care to roll your own.

Of course you could just go fishing in the Hubble space telescope pages and find something cool.
