I use Whatsize which is rather dull looking compared to this… Just noticed a third off deal for Daisydisk here http://macappdeals.com/?p=2097

The OmniDisksweeper suggestion is good as is Directory X another similar free app.

I thought I posted this earlier, but for PC there’s WinDirStat, which is free, doesnt look as cool as the mac one thou :p

Try jdiskreport, not so eye catchy but has interesting features, it’s java runs everywhere nicely. And it’s free

As much as it’s not as nice to look at, I think Omni Disk Sweeper is worth a mention here purely because it used to be commercial software, but it’s now free. (It used to cost about £30 I think). I’ve been using it at work (since I discovered it was free) for much the same reasons as you’re using DaisyDisk for here and it works a treat (I’m the Mac technician at a college and look after about 200 Macs – free software is great when the alternative is paying for a site licence!).
