Desktop Mod: Rainmeter
Rainmeter is an awesome little package that you can use to modify your desktop with, heres mine:

I'm currently using a theme called Onmimo 2 that I nabbed from devaintART. There are literally thousands of different themes and plugins that you can add to Rainmeter which gives a lot of customization.
You can get Rainmeter here http://rainmeter.net/RainCMS/
A good place to start looking for Rainmeter themes is to search the devaintART webpage, google works too ;).

Another simple tool while I'm at it!
It's called Window Mouse Capturer, this little guy traps your mouse cursor within a selected window. It's 100% necessary if your going to be playing any game in windowed mode. And with a toggle key(F7) its really easy to release your mouse from the window if you need to.
You can get this bad boy here!
