Do you use a Screen Saver? I'd Like a beautiful one!

check the sig, I've got an ATI 9700. I really like the stuff at geissworks. I've been following Ryan Geiss's work for some years.

Edit: I just found some new stuff there. Drempels and Smoke. I'm trying them now :beer:

Drempels is nice. I'm feeling it.

Hrm, i can't vote...

when i'm done on my computer, i turn off both my monitors and have no screensaver set

so my monitors don't shut off automatically, and i don't use a screensaver...

I suppose that would look cool with my fish, I've got A 55 and 65GAL in the room already.

what, you have to buy more fish? thats a little too real. do they belly up occasionally?

Really Slick screen savers

opengl screensavers, several of them, i rotate between them from tiem to time, nice looking though, lost of options for most of them to change the look and feel

This screensaver kicks @$$ IMO. I was a little disappointed that it wouldn't let my monitor go to sleep. I don't need a screensaver when I am not there, I'd like the monitors to shut down when I am gone for work or whatever, and I don't like switching them on and off (I am lazy and don't want to switch on and off multiple times per day). I have a fish tank with freshwater tropicals, and this screensaver makes me want to flush them for saltwaters. Though I can substitute the real fish for this things. You want beautiful, this is it IMO!!

No, I don't use a screensaver, because I want to give my Folding@Home distributed computing client all the spare CPU cycles that it can get. I do, however, have the monitor set to power off automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity.

Same here... It saves power and extends the life of the monitor
