Well, if your using windows and you're getting tired of your screensaver you should check this out. It's a packetsniffing screensaver! Not the cleanest looking in the world but it's much better that a flying box or some pipes. It's called "PacketFountain" and was put together by IronGeek. It's written in VB6 and uses the WinPcap wrapper.
Steps to install
1. copy ./bin/PacketFountain.scr to windows directory (c:\windows\).
2. copy ./bin/VBPCAP.DLL to windows\system32 directory (c:\windows\system32).
3. Install Winpcap from http://winpcap.polito.it/ .
4. Go to Display Properties->Screen Saver and choose PacketFountain.
5. Click the settings button and choose your network card, number of packets, active monitors and speed.
I personally had an issue with changing the settings, but it's not a big deal.
