Are you viewing just jpg files? If so, just select one of the pictures in the directory and hit the space bar. It will open a preview window. From there you can hit the up or down arrow keys to scroll through the pictures.
With an external HD over USB 2.0, you won't notice the speed difference between a 5400 RPM and a 7200 RPM drive. Save the money and get the Green drive. It's plenty fast and runs ice cold compared to a Blue or Black drive.
I'll take a computer that can do this:
In all seriousness though, here are the specs for mine.

If this thread exist, sorry. Please close it. If it doesn't here goes.
Since the game has been out for a while, I'd figure I might get some Fakku members to join in and have some friendly matches. I suck at it and am still learning how to play so bear with me. Post your character name and code or battle.net email.
Here's mine:
Character Name: Kurumi
Character Code: 871

@Tegumi i would think his computer would be pretty quiet with a case with huge fans and I'm used to noctura stuff being fairly silent

Choose one
Fermi + Water Cooling = Quiet. I could choose both. :)
Back on topic though, very nice build you have there. It will still not play SC2. :p j/k

yeah it is basically non existent. I've been going to Otakon for about 9 years and the most serious thing I've heard of happening is some asshat pulling a fire alarm :P.. or not having enough table space for 30+ people at the local pub.
Just saying.

blurry pics bro.Needs less people moving and/or more 580 EX II flash. Too bad I can't afford the latter so the former will just have to do.
Hey Jacob, the meetup for Otakon is tonight at the nest right? Well, Resturant.com is doing a promo for the Nest for super cheap. 80% off the price using the discount code PLATE. So $100 for the whole table will cost $8. :) Granted we have to spend at least $200 but I think that can be doable.
Long shot but have you tried removing the battery, powering on the machine and boot to Windows, and then reinsert the battery? It works for me in some cases, mostly on IBM/Lenovo laptops.
I found a basic intro to converting hell to mobile hell guide.
http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/creating-mobile-web-sites-with-google-app-engine
It uses python and it might be able to take the existing code and convert it to a mobile browser depending on which browser it is (Mobile Safari, Mobile Opera/Mini, PIE/PIE variant, or any webkit variant). I'll see about playing around with it after Otakon to see if this might work out for Fakku.

What......?
Let me read that again, you have two Turion X2 laptop processors running in a board with 12GB of RAM, with a Radeon 3200HD (non-mobility?)? I don't think that's.... possible.
Also I have another build in progress:
CPU: 2 Opteron 246 (2.0GHz single core)
MOBO: Tyan Thunder K8SR S2881
RAM: 1GB DDR (2 x 512MB)
GPU: ATI Rage 8mb (haha...)
Yeah, you guessed right, it's a server. All I need are some inexpensive CPU heatsinks and I will have a working server computer.... if it fits in the case I have.
You can get one too if you really want, the link is right here:
https://www.pacificgeek.com/product.asp?ID=847374&C=211&S=1045
Too bad uses old dated parts, like DDR RAM and single core Opterons.
I'd feel so dirty if I used unbuffered RAM. :p I totally looked into this for a file/backup DC server, but lack of VT support killed it for me since I was going to run 08R2.
