There's always the classic blue screen of death screensaver...

BlueScreen

Or you could always make a screen print of the desktop, move all of the icons off to the side and set the screen print as the wallpaper. That's always good for some laughs.

^^haha!! I was just thinking of the second one you mentioned!

If they have LCD screens, there's the variant of the second one cwa107 mentioned with the appearance that the screen has been hit hard and cracked.

Cracked LCD Desktop

I found the Phantom Keystroker V2 recently.

It's really a very powerful prank device. I don't like pranks, but....

That looks like a lot of fun!! Hopefully it doesn't automatically run keystrokes that lead to stealing info or downloading viruses on your computer!!
