Maybe everyone knows about this but figured I'd share anyway just in case. Go to arcadeflyers.com and grab the large, hi-res images of flyers you like - either ones that look cool, the games you own, ones you want (grails), or whatever. Drop them in a folder and then configure the "My Pictures Slideshow" screensaver to read from your directory of arcade flyers. Instant, easy, custom arcade screensaver.

That's a neat idea. Thanks for sharing!
 
I did that with all the old retro arcade pics that are floating around here. Someone posted a link to all the Time Out Tunnel shots that were on Peter's site. I also have some pics of my own gameroom. They all play randomly in my screensaver. I use the Google Photo screensaver, which looks great with two monitors. It shows a different photo on each screen!
 
If your on a Mac, you can select the RSS Visualizer screen saver and stick a craigslist search URL in it with the "format=rss" query string parameter. Then your screen saver will be showing you the most recent CL posts. :D

Also, there are screen savers that pull images from flickr using keywords that would work nicely for arcade images if you actually want pictures.
