Hey A good screen saver is a must have. It shows passers by how cool your computer is when you are away. My favourite type of screen savers are clock screen savers. Simply because they are elegant, simple and they don’t suck up your computers CPU like it is going out of fashion.

Anyway, this post is going to be a collection of 6 well designed clock screen savers which you can grace your computer with. These screen savers are listed in no particular order. Fliqlo Based on an old style flip clock, the digits will slowly flip over as time slowly passes. Unfortunately there is no options to change any of the colours of the digits. This software is free. You can download it, click on the left most floppy disk to get the download link.

Fractal Clock When I first came across this screen saver, I thought it was awesome. The fractal patterns moving across the screen excited the little child within me. I then realized that the white arms in the centre of the screen told the time. It does wonders reading. Anyway, this software is free.
