Over 22,000 icons last time I visited, the best thing about this site is the consistency of style, on top of great quality and a search engine that really works. Use these for button and menu/tab bar Icons, also great for marketing material and PowerPoint slides. They have a handy colour tool so you can have the Icons dynamically recoloured to suit.

Nearly 1,000,000 Icons and Images on here, offering a mixture of free and low cost premium images. You can easily filter to only show the free ones if you want to. Using the search I find it hard to find Icons on the same theme, but they have a navigation to view by Icon Set that helps.
