Are you currently using a screensaver? And if you are, describe it.

I basically gave up with screensavers after 3DFiles.com went offline. :(

EDIT: Oh, and post a link if you know of a web site that has some good savers.

I have opted for no screen saver. I just have my monitor shut down after 5 minutes.:(

I usually don't, but the Serene Screen fish screen saver is so cool, I had to have it.

In the old days when monitors suffered from burned-in images, screen savers took up too much valuable computer memory and CPU cycles - causing noticibly poorer performance. So I never used them, and just turned off the monitor when I left.

Now screens can be left on the same image for years and have no burned-in effect. So screensavers are useless. Thus even though they no longer take up significant resources, I never saw a reason to use them.

don't use one. If I am out of the room for a long period of time I turn the monitor off.

My screen goes black after 30 min and powers off after 60; I grew out of screen savers in the mid 90s ;)
