One I recommend is lavaps from http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/SOFTWARE/LAVAPS/
It makes a lava lamp with blobs the size of the memory or other aspects
the processes take up and you can click on them for more information and
even control them with renice and kills from menu.  kinda configurable and
would be interesting on a busy computer.  You may need to play around with
the -geometry switch to get a useful size.  Its based on tk 2.something. 
Run it during a party and impress nerds and non-nerds alike! :)
