Any good screensavers out there? I have a good PC and would like one with nice graphics that shows off the power.

I like the aquarium ones but they are old tech now.

Any ideas?
 
I don't know of any, just remember if it's really intensive it will be doing two things - warming up your PC and wasting more electricity than a standard screen saver.

I'm not having a go, just making sure you are aware of these facts.
 
Flurry is a screensaver that comes to mind.

Personally, I don't use a screensaver these days.
 
I use this http://www.reallyslick.com/oldsavers/lattice3.zip with these setings.

There an amazing one I use in Ubuntu, next time I'm on it I'll check the name and see if its been ported to Windoze, if its not and its in OGL, I may port it myself as I wouldn't mind it on my PC.

EDIT:
Found the screensaver, its called Helios, check a video out here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t39cclsYR9o
Not sure if its available for Windoze yet or not, I'll check when its not the ungodly hour of 3:45am :P

What's "Windoze"? Or are you just trying to be cool like the retards who write Microsoft with the dollar sign instead of the 's'?

Helios is for Windows - the same place as lattice, linked above. Both savers have been around for aeons though.
 
I normally use Marine Aquarium 3 from Serene Screen.

MA3 is fully 3d and the next beta will have more detailed fish models and more natural behaviors for the fish.
 
I use a variety including the aquarium ones. However my favorite was from years ago, part of the After Dark Collection 'Bad Dog' and that one where a hand would write (your) words from behind a dusty screen. Not sure if it would work with XP or anything newer.

Spooky screensaver

Turn the monitor off when you're leaving the pc for a while ....
turn it back on when you get back
I don't really see the point in flashy screensavers that will play to... an empty room o.O?
