I have found that drawings from patents, the weirder the better, make really good screensavers. Its easy:

1) DL a weird patent in pdf format from one of the several web sites that host patents.
2) open the pdf file and display the image you find interesting.
3) Hit ctrl+Prt Sc to copy the screen to the clipboard
4) paste the clipboard into a blank image file in a photoeditor like irfanview
5) crop the image and scale it as req'd/desired
6) save the image as .jpg

Scanned portraits of dead presidents copied from money also works well.

Cheers!
