Phill Ryu is making us Windows users jealous (again) with his list of the Top Ten OS X Screensavers.

That Mr. Sparkle screensaver is all vectory and gorgeous on a large screen.

Electric Sheep is the best in my opinion just for the fact of how it works and its always evolving. Its also available for Windows or Linux.
