You might find the VST Computer Music Special very handy.
Go to www.computermusic.co.uk to see how you would go about getting a copy (it comes with a DVD full of all the best (in their opinion) free VST's, AND tutorials on how to use them.

What a loaded question!

Here's a few:

- Triple Cheese By U-He

- Crystal

- Lots of stuff by Smart Electronix

- Get a copy of Computer Music, the included plugins are nice!

- There are a gazillion freebees for Windows that based on Synthedit or Synthmaker, you just have to dig around KVR

- Make your own in Live with crazy chained racks & macros!
GO VEGAN!!! - Macbook Air, Bass Station II, Some Korg shit, Live Suite, U-He, Audio Damage, Microtonic, Ohmicide, more soft stuffs, awesome controllers, euro rack modular synth,an awesome cat.

It's actually Chip32, not Chips32. Here you go: http://www.geocities.jp/sam_kb/Chip32/

I've been using it the past few weeks, and it's really fun and easy to make cool sounds with.

i second that.
best thing that if you use free plugins in your racks, you can make them portable to anyone on the platform, which is really great if youre a heavy VST user. i used to be one, but lately i only use a limiter plguin and a spectral visualisation (is that what its called?) plugin, and trying to keep the rest in racks, native.
