dimming screen before/instead of screensaver?

Is it possible to dim the screen after a certain amount of time before the computer goes to sleep? Where do I find the option?

iMac G5 20'' 2.1 GhZ, Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Go to Preferences, Energy Saver, Options. You will see the setting to reduce the brightness of the screen.

The computer automatically dims at the halfway point to where you have the screen set to go to sleep. To use this instead of the screensaver, just set the time for the screensaver to kick in to be later than the sleep time.
