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

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!
