Good-looking, looping 3D-demos? (Warning, mild nudity)

Heehee, the topic just made you click on this one, didn't it? ;)
Ok, here's the lowdown: I sometimes work at my father's computer store when he needs help and when I'm not in school or driving a vorklift around for cash. Last friday we put a nice, clear acryl case computer with christmas -coloured leds and lihted fans on the window along with a pretty decent 19" TFT display. Now what we'd need are goodlooking 3d demos that can be left looping in the window. Free, of course. :) The comp' ain't exactly top of the line but with a 3000+ Sempron, Club 3D 6600GT AGP 128 and 1G ram it's more than enough to run some pretty decent graphics.
I went through all the nVidia demos available, even the older ones and found that I hadn't tried out almost any of them in the past. What really struck me was nVidia's [b]Dawn[/b] ahd how good it still looks today, despite her 3-year age... Accompanied with a proper patch, you can still run it today with a decent resolution that doesn't involve any stretching and with a good amount of 4xAA on and still have a good framerate. It's rather pretty, and it's already sold a few nVidia's cards.
...and you have to love the fanboys: It also enables this:

:D
...too bad we can't leave that running on the screen. I wouldn't mind the store getting complaints if it was someone else's than my fathers, but as it is... clothing stays on. Dang! :D
Anyways, to stop the derailing from going on any further: We'd need some good looking technology demos that are rendered in real time. Not videos or pre-renders, thankyouverymuch. I've gone through the nVidia and ATI -selection as far as demos go, but if anyone knows any good looking stuff, please, post a link. Doesn't matter if it's a running demo, a tech demo or a screensaver, as long as it's purrrrdy for the eyes. :)
And yes, 3DMark would be a good option, but I think the last one that offered a free looping demo was 2001 if not 2000. You get the looping demo -option in the [b]Business[/b] edition of Mark 05, which costs US 240... :p Unbelievable.
Well... yeah, that sort of covers it. :) Ooh, and anything involving bottles or booze would be perfect... we have a sobriety clinic of sorts next to the store. :D
