Widescreen Desktop Wallpaper?

I just got a new Dell Latitude D800 and it comes with a really nice 15.4 WXGA screen. As much as I like the screen, there's not much in choice for the wallpaper. What's a good, free site for downloading desktop wallpaper for this odd resolution of 1280x800? Thanks!
 
not that this isn't off topic, but can you guys get back on topic

i want some also in widescreen for my new Compaq x1000 (truly one of the best laptops i have ever owned)
 
I guess the best way is to find a high res wallpaper and crop it. My newbie stupid ass question of the day is...how does one crop it to a certain size (eg 1280x800). Obviously cropping is easy in paint. The trick is to crop it to the right size...that I don't know. 🙁

do it in photo shop. easyest way it to resize it so that 1 of teh dimensions is what you want it to be then resize teh canvas so it fits teh other dim. make teh background black and your all set
 
You can use the crop tool in paintshop pro to set the dimensions you want to crop... I use this to make 4x6 crops of my digicam pics for development at costcos, otherwise they do the cropping and usually a bad job at that.
