Straight from SmashingMagazine.com comes this awesome list of wordpress themes. Dang, now this just means I’m going to be trackin down a new theme for my site again!

High-quality WordPress themes always come in handy. Whether you are looking for some design inspiration or professional coding solutions â€” in both cases you can learn a lot, you can apply them and you can build customized designs upon them without reinventing the wheel all the time.

In this article (snagged from smashingmagazine) they present 100 free high-quality WordPress themes. Together with hundreds of other designs, these themes have been manually selected, installed and tested over the last weeks. They all can be downloaded, customized and used for free in both personal and commercial projects. Links to demo-versions provide a direct preview of a theme.
