What's your desktop look like?

Just curious as to what you all use for your background on your computer(s)? Here's mine from work. Newly created..

I don't use backgrounds or active desktop at home. My computers are more than adequate but I like things streamlined.....

I just formatted my computer, so I don't have anything cool. Like civic_addict, I'm more into performance too, though I have plenty of ram.

LOL, performance..

I dont think a background will do that much damage.
I have a T-Brid 850 with 256. Dont really see anydifference with or without a background.

But active desktop does cost you a lot of mem.

Backgrounds dont make a big difference, unlike Themes and crap.. Im running 350s, with about 190 MB RAM (at work).. But with Virusscan and tons of apps running I cant really afford to waste any memory.. It crashes enough as it is..

Streamline. All about performance. Is there a need for picture? No. So I cut it out..... Reduces the weight of my desktop.

Now come on get some pics up!

I have the same one. Funny. Delta 767 in the clouds.

Well, it will not let me post the one I change it too.

However, it is a pic of the engine in Steph Papadakis' new Civic.
