K10K Pixel Patterns
974 patterns on file at the present time. So many great ones to choose from. You’ll want to check the usage details however. Not all are allowed for commercial use. I love this site!
Kollermedia.at
Currently this site has 270+ backgrounds to select from. I think this site has a nice “current” selection of quality backgrounds. This is a site I’d highly recommend.

Photo textures to use to create different looks. Very unusual selection that you should find interesting.
Milleseicentopercento
Small selection however they are very much in style for today’s web design trends. Must see.

Over 8000 backgrounds. Many of the categories are outdated, however the realistic categories such as stone, wood, and nature had some useful backgrounds.

Download gorgeous backgrounds or edit them for your use by using their editor. Also search this site by color. Nice site, a must visit site!
Squidfingers
Really unique and dramatic backgrounds here! If you are looking for unusual color combinations this is a nice place to look.

Some very nice backgrounds here. It takes only a minute to look through their selection. I saw some really nice potential backgrounds here. This site also has a preview feature so you can get a nice idea of what the background looks like.
Texture King
337 current textures including grunge, dirt, concrete, plaster, rust and more.
Texture Love
Some really interesting categories of high resolution photos. My favorite is smoke, see if you can fine a favorite category.
Urban Dirty
If these photo images don’t inspire you in designing some really interesting sites, I’m not sure much will inspire. Great site that must be bookmarked.

Vector fans will love this site. Beautiful patterns to select from.
