That may works, so long as you realize you're writing off smaller 
monitors, which you apparently feel are not a significant proportion 
of your audience.

I presume the white background is to prevent visible tiling. A height 
of 1500 seems excessive to me.


What's the reason for using it as a background image? The way you 
have it planned, it will be off-center for viewers using a high res 
monitor.

Why not simply place it as an image <IMG> and center it? You can add 
the text you now have to the image itself (e.g., as layers in 
Photoshop, which then get flattened when you create a jpeg or gif). 
The whole image could be the ENTER link. Just turn off borders in the 
IMG tag.
