Hyperspace and Helios
The screensaver is nice, giving you the image of ultra high speed. However, They are quite heavy to be processed. They can be downloaded here for Hyperspace and here for Helios.
LotsaGlass
It can transform itself and it has many unique shapes. I really hope I can have a glass like this for real. You can get the screensaver here.
Electric Sheep
Download here.
Time Machine
As a clone of Time Machine animation, this screensaver gets many attention also. Download it here and drop it to your screensaver pane.
Fenetres Volantes
Let's fly! The screensaver can be downloaded here.
LotsaWater
If you haven't ever seen your Mac drowned in water, you can try this screensaver out. It gives the effect of your whole display being drowned! You can download it here.
Flurry
And still, Flurry is the best screensaver for Mac OS X.

The time machine one is great, and combined with Wall saver, I've now got it running as my desktop background :)

Thank you for 'lotsofwater' screensaver, I really enjoy it, but when my screensaver comes on, a black screen display pops up.... not the original deskptop. How can i fix that?

Hi diva, maybe you've accidentally set the "Dimming" adjustment to its lowest which blacken out the display, leaving the dropping water alone. Try to adjust the screensaver "Options" inside your Screensaver Preferences Pane. Hope it can be fix.

Hi, Aveline! Three of them have .saver files inside their package. That's the Mac specific file to run the screen saver. Double click on that item and your Mac will install the screen saver for you. If this cannot do, then you need to do a little work.
Open your System Preferences and then go to Desktop & Screen Saver. Under this pane, make sure you're inside Screen Saver section. Drag and drop .saver file to the preview pane. Your new screen saver should be installed by now. Hope this can help you.

Once you drop the .qtz file to your Screen Saver Preferences Pane, it will be automatically installed and set as your screen saver.

Sickening and tiring to try and search for good desktop and screensavers for the MAC! MAC! MAC! MAC! Every place I go it starts for Mac and I end up at some junky windows only web place. I want some beautiful relaxing nature scenes, moving water falls, moving water, stars twinkling (not swirling fancy stuffs) Plenty for windows - for Mac - ZERO. Why? This 2008 already!

I am having the same problem as divahomie with my lotsawater screen saver; however, I checked the dimmer and it is normal. I don't know what's wrong with it, but it's very frustrating! Can anyone help me?

Hi Jakers, have you tried my suggestion in comment #7 ? That should be the problem with the screensaver's default setting, try to adjust it a bit :)
