Try the "Aqua Blue" (Aqua Blue.jpg) picture in the Macintosh HD / Library / Desktop Pictures directory. I did this on my MacBook and it looks pretty cool.
On my work machine i I double clicked the screen saver file and it asked me if i wanted to install for the 'current user' or 'for all users'.But on my home machine it opened the Quartz Composer application when i double clicked it.
I can confidently say that Quartz Composer is the best kept secret in Mac development. It has an incredible interface, where you just drag modules onto a field, connecting inputs to outputs; it is quite easy to make a very visually pleasing animation, or interactive screensaver. No programming required, though you can incorporate it into OS X apps, I have no idea why more people don't know about this.I usually don't fanboy about Apple stuff, but QC is truly spectacular. Free, included with the developer tools.

This one is for Windows. Small (100kb) and best of all, free.<a class="user" href="http://www.tucows.com/preview/154068">http://www.tucows.com/preview/154068</a>

I think it's people being confused by people refering to the plural of box as boxen. :x;]
