I found a neat screen saver that I thought a lot of you would enjoy here at this website: electricsheep.org. (read its home page first because they explain what it does better than I can)
If you have any doubts about it, here is an exapmple video at google: 165 Star Oasis. The number 165 represents the "flock" that each of those "sheep" in the video came out of.
As with any distributed computing effort, the more people that run it, the more effective it is. In this case, the more people that run it, the faster new sheep are rendered. I would also like to note that if you already have a background program running (which i bet you do) it uses hardly any cpu time rendering frames. It does however use some bandwidth, but it can be adjusted to where you want it.
If you decide to try it, then please come back here and give your opinion. Or if you want to, give your opinion on the video as well.
EDIT: if you do decide to get it, get the bittorrent version, currently its the windows beta version 2.6.6b6
