Deviantart.com has some interesting stuff on occasion, but requires a bit more digging than the average desktop site.

InterfaceLIFT: Wallpaper sorted by Date

Has a decent collection, but mostly of photography. Can filter all sorts of things, 2 screens, 3 screens, certain Apple devices, screen resolutions, etc.

If you can't solve the desktops problem, then you could take a different approach:

Since you already have the problem, it wouldn't hurt to make it worse. Increase your setup to 3-4 monitors. Kind of like having the problem of which car to take for a drive: the Corvette or the Porsche. So add a Lamborgnini and a Lotus.

note: few people have the example car problem.

I am actually thinking about buying a 23" IPS monitor, but I would need another video card and I dont know if I can be that nerdy to have 3 monitors.

any more advice?

In the words of shifuimam (possibly rephrased): everybody needs at least three monitors.
