You can use any picture you want. What I do is add all pictures I like for a 
specific topic to a Draw file and add gluepoints to them. From that file I select 
the image I need and copy it to the file I am working on. If you add the 
gluepoints wisely, then you can resize and reposition the image and the 
connectors will just follow it. You can even define what direction the 
connectors should prefer. To bad Draw won't allow you to do this in a more 
elegant way, but for me using template file works OK.

P.S. I would advise you to make your images transparent before copying them to 
the template file. That way you can use them on any background in future use.

P.P.S. Search the intenet for Visio stencils or other image collections you 
like. I don't have a URL handy right now, but Googling for "Cisco Systems 
Corporate Iconography" will point you in the right direction.
