    I don't know how to ask this question really. I want something that is visually as stunning as possible as a screen saver, or maybe even a background/wallpaper which screams "Tech/Geek". Am I making any sense.
    Believe it or not, a nice person in my area told me about Geek 2 Geek for the social side of geek life and I am on that site now too. Not the usual question here, and only putting in the software section since I am thinking screen saver most likely. (No BTW: I am not a teenager :):)

    nVidia has a screen saver that takes advantage of the newer PhysX capabilities of their higher end video cards. If you're running an nVidia 8800 or higher video card, you might want to take a look at it....
    Link: http://www.nvidia.com/content/graphicsplus/us/download.asp This is a link to all the free NVidia PhysX and GraphicsPlus downloads; it includes game demos, the PhysX screen saver, and tons more....
    You should also check out Digital Blasphemy. It's mainly a wallpaper site but they have a bazillion categories and you're bound to find something with some geekness to it...
    If you're into fractals (and who isn't, right?) here's some great fractal sites:

    http://images.google.com/images?q=f...&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=5&ct=title (I used "fractal gallery" as a Google search keyword)
    http://www.willamette.edu/~sekino/fractal/fractal.htm
    http://www.coolmath.com/fractals/gallery.htm
    . . . and there's a bazillion more . . .
    :-D

    :confused I just downloaded rssavers-0.1.zip from sourceforge without a hitch.... on the other hand, the 'Fireflies' download at Freshmeat is dead. The link abiove is good and goes to the project page for Fireflies, but the 'download' button results in a 'Not Found' error. :(

    Let's keep this going. If anyone else has great tech eye candy either ss or wall papers let us know. Anything like a borg cube or looks like terminator bots?
