Google Sketchup
This is a program I just found yesterday, and thought I would share with all of you. I am currently watching all the videos that are teaching tutorials, and am very iimpressed so far! I wondered if any of you would be interested in learning/trying/playing with this program too. (It is a 37mb program)
