I suggest e17 (http://www.enlightenment.org/) if you want a fast, simple interface that still looks great and has a wow-factor.
Or you could go all the way and use evilwm (http://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/), which is the smallest, fastest, and most minimal window manager, yet it is very easy to learn if you have the man page open.
