HAHA... the day that Aqua is fully available in another OS than OSX will 
be the day that hell freezes over. Same as Aero or Luna outside of 
Windows ^^. There are plenty of OSX mockups out there with docks and 
junk, but most of them are junk.

XFCE4 is good, and I think you'll like it.

For the rest, just google.. millions of people before you have asked 
similar questions and you have to find out what suits your fancy the most.
