you a gooey feeling inside, then Reflection X (IIRC) is very good. You
have to pay though. eXceed was another one I played with. starnet have
another one called XWin32. Most of them have demo versions you can play
with and check out. It's great fun to mix and match the Windows desktop,
with Gnome, and then have VNC/remote control software too to have 3
graphical desktops running simultaneously :)
Another free way is to use Cygwin and there's a windows based X11 server
for that.
Don't use the MI/X server, it doesn't support the SHM extension, and is
generally naff.
