I agree.  The background makes a huge difference. Wanna know how to make a brushed metal look? Tip coming soon...

- Start with a blank image.
- Use the Add Noise filter to add around 80% monochromatic uniform noise.
- Now apply a horizontal Motion Blur of about 100 pixels.
- Under the Other filter category, choose Offset.
- Choose a horizontal offset of around 150 pixels and select Wrap Around.
- Now use the rubber stamp tool (with a largish brush) to erase the seam.
Pretty seemple, eh?

I don't remember. It was a few years ago. Some website, though.

OK...your "dream" system inspired me to make my own "dream" wallpaper.

Not sure what I'd use as a processor yet.

I always found the name Snell to be humorous. Makes me think of someone with a cold.
