7. Electric Sheep
This screensaver, referred to as "sheep," uses images that are downloaded through a working internet connection on your computer. While the screensaver runs, you can vote on the "sheep" presented to you, which influences the central database's choices on which kinds of "sheep" are the best. Several of the "sheep" can be quite mesmerizing and even artistic. If you are interested in what are often beautiful computer-generated images, this program is worth a look; even if you do not necessarily need an actual screen saver.
Download: Electric Sheep
8. Polar Clock 3
This screensaver shows the month, day, the day of the week, hour, minute and second, on six bars that gradually concentrically circle the screen as time passes. It is an interesting display, and we bet it'd be especially cool to have this one running for the New Year's Eve countdown!

A deviantART user developed a version of this popular Mac screensaver that functions on Windows. Once you have it installed, the screensaver runs its design just like the Mac version and is both mesmerizing and simple at the same time.

However, it is still available to download in various locations on the internet, like the one below.

10. Sun Village – Nvidia Edition
During the research for this article, we were surprised to discover that Nvidia has some interesting screensavers. Sun Village is one of the most complex screensavers we have seen so far because it combines 3D images with sound. Download it from the link below and try it. Although it is rather old, you might be delighted with how it looks.
During the installation process, be careful, as this screensaver bundles a third-party application that you might not want: 3Planesoft Screensaver Manager. Uncheck it if you want to install just the screensaver.

11. zz DVD
Most people have seen, at least once in their lives, the renowned bouncing DVD logo, aka the DVD screensaver. It is that animated screensaver with a DVD Video logo that jumps around the screen endlessly. It might not look like something extraordinary, but the math behind it is interesting. It has become famous thanks to the jokes about it from the American TV show The Office: try watching it until the DVD Video logo hits one of your screen's corners. 🙂 If you want your Windows PC to showcase the DVD Video bouncing logo, download and install the zz DVD screensaver.

Uncheck it if you want to install just the screensaver.

Bonus: World Community Grid
The World Community Grid is one of the easiest ways in which you can support worldwide research into global medical and social causes. It is an app that you can download and install on your computer, and which can then use your PC's unused resources to power up scientific research on health, poverty, and sustainability. We decided to include this app in this roundup of screensavers due to its cause, and also because you can set it to run only when your computer is idle, using your PC's resources when the screensaver is on. If you are not using your PC, wouldn't you want it to help research on important issues such as microbiome immunity, fighting cancer, AIDS and others alike?
