I've tried Beryl with Linux and it runs surprisingly well with old-ish hardware.
For a 3D desktop it actually has useful features. The one I found pretty cool was the way you could bend windows down to peek and see what was happening in the window underneath.
The spinning cube is also a visually nice way to flick between desktops and because it doesn't need an uber PC just to do it, it's quite a nice touch.
