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.

My Top 5 Free Pluggins :

1) dBlue GLITCH (but still available under Windows only !)
2) LiveCut (for the Mac side !)
3) Most of Smartelectronix pluggins !!!
4) Most of the VST for KVR Challenge 2007 !
5) Automat on Mac !

Find yours now !

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!

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.

Mess around with the waveforms to get some wicked square basses and hit it up with some compression

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.
