High quality space wallpapers

[alonzomourning23]

I just got a new LCD monitor and I walked into radioshack and found a $110 DVI-D cable clearanced for 7 bucks. I'm not a pc gamer and I don't watch movies on my pc, so it's kinda useless to me, but for 7 bucks I figured it was worth it. So I now have a digital connection. The picture quality is very sharp and I thought that a nice, high res space picture would look very good as a wallpaper.

All I can really find so far is this:

And I'm currently using this as a background:

I'm looking primarily for images with a resolution of 1280 x 1024. Most of the stuff I've found, barring that site, isn't nearly as sharp as I want it.

15-1064 is for the single link and 15-1063 is for the dual link. I work at radioshack and after buying the dual link I checked at work and there were a lot of them in stores. It was also listed online as "in store only". When I got my monitor a few days later I realized that the dual link didn't work and I needed a single link. By that time they had pulled it off the internet, but I checked the area from work. Only 2 stores out of the 40 or so it listed had it in. I get the feeling they were recently pulled.
