"X-RAY" type backgrounds for iMac, IPad, ...

[[)roi(]]

Recently we posted a Mac museum collection that featured an iMac using wallpaper that made it appear like you could see right through to the logic board.

It turns out these images are from iFixIt, the company that likes to tear down Apple hardware.

In the process of documenting their teardowns, iFixIt also has taken high resolution images that work great for wallpapers, giving the illusion that there is no screen on the device, and instead making it look as if icons and windows are floating directly atop circuitry.

It’s a cool effect, and they have a variety of freely available native resolution wallpapers in this style for the iMac, iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and even the Apple external Thunderbolt display.

Find them all on iFixit.com’s blog or check out some more images below If you don’t care about showing the exact hardware for your device, they all make great wallpapers in general.

My favorites have to be the iPad and iMac, although the Thunderbolt chip is nice too:

Do they come in 2048 X 1536?

27" = 2560x1440
21" = 1920x1080 (Full HD)

27" = 2560x1440
21" = 1920x1080 (Full HD)

Will that show the innards of the iMac or the iPad?

27" or 21" = iMac (don't know any iPads with that dimension )

Not sure if they've produced a native internals photos for the IPad 3, yet the iPad 2 image will work just fine.
