3-D modeling Software, free or cheap ??

Someone point out a very basic 3D package for me. Doesn't need to be architectural grade, just something to help visualize backyard shed projects and such.
For example, let's say I have xxx amount of concrete cylinders measuring 6 x 14 inches and want to build a wall with them.
So the software I'm looking for would allow me to create a 3D object (cylinder) and then model 'arrays' of said object.
I have Mac & Windoze boxes. Either platform would work.

http://www.sketchup.com/ You might try this it's called Sketchup. Although I've not used it my neighbor swears by it (I think this is it he said it is easy to use).

Thanks Brnxeyed.
Thanks Brnxeyed.
I looked at their site and that seems like it might work for me, just looking at the promo stuff.
Next time I'm in town with fast WIFI connection, I'll try and download that one.
I just need the very basic wireframe and 3-D array tools, no need to render all the surfaces or make the stuff move.
So the simpler, the better.

I have an XP box like in Ender's picture, and a dell laptop w/ win 7. The latter runs most modern stuff.
Also some macs running various osX versions.
What I'm lacking is fast bandwidth at home, so I take the laptop to whatever coffee shop or restaurant with fast wiFi for grabbing large files.

I like sketchup
I like sketchup
plenty of nice plugins and a good library of user submitted drawings including dynamic ones that save a lot of time.
This is an example, a tshirt display for a pizza joint.

So I did download 'Sketchup'
So I did download 'Sketchup' and some others. They are not all as intuitive and easy to learn compared to a Kid - friendly software like 'Amorphium' ca. 2000. But at least there are some free 3D modeling softwares out there which run on a Windoze platform.
AutoDesk inc. 'had' a few free and interesting programs, but got bored of it. Now it's hard to find last year's version to download.
There are some Waaayy Rad sculpture 3-D thangs out there, but they are web-based and so you can't download the program.
Fun stuff though.
