Show Us Your Rig [5]

Turns out the pic's are too big, 6 - 8 MB each.

How do I shrink them ?

In Microsoft Paint, there is a *resize* function that should do the trick

I don't have re-size on this machine, it is XP Pro.

Try this link COMPUTIAC

Or you can try opening an image in the XP Paint, then save as a .jpg, sometimes that reduces the file size while keeping the image full size.

Tried this real quick and it shrunk them to just over 1 MB.

I use this for resizing pics Image Resizer for Windows - Home It just adds "resize image" to the right click menu and give you options about size.

So my give away build has taken a new avenue. Pulling off an older but still good MSI mobo as somehow I damaged the PCIe slot on the ASRock. This was good news and bad news but all in all it has come together well. Now I will clean install W7 and load drivers and put in a new 1TB spinner loaded with some goodies for my dear friend David. He still has now idea whats coming his way.

 

[Dude]

I like the way you loop the sata cables, looks great

I know, I know I have to hide the cathode lite power cables. But with the side panel on you don`t even notice em.

In XP version of Paint the resize function is "hidden" in Image menu > Attributes:

​

It has no "Keep Aspect Ratio" function though, so be careful when altering size if you want to keep the dimensions.

Just as another alternative, I use Pix resizer.

X2 on Irfanview. I use it for quite a few things, such as mass graphic file editing, mass file renaming, etc.
