GOOD BASIC BOARD

ASUS P5G41T-M/CSM LGA 775 Intel G41 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5G41T-M/CSM LGA 775 Intel G41 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I moved over to buying these boards after I got burned using the Intel "TY" boards with the bad network interface(s). So far I have ordered 20 of these boards and they are stable and easy to setup and install. Performance is good. I use the E5700 and E8400 CPU's depending on the application. The Crucial Ballistix 2Gb DDR3 memory works well with this board.

Cons: Some of the earlier driver discs had problems but my latest order came with a newer version driver disc and all seemed to go smoothly.

Overall Review: Good for the price. Very good performance using an SSD drive.

AGT MT-72W LED Light Bar Light Rail Spot Flood For 4x4 Off Road Baja Trucks Auxiliary
AGT MT-72W LED Light Bar Light Rail Spot Flood For 4x4 Off Road Baja Trucks Auxiliary

Pros: This is a knock off of another more expensive name brand unit. Good basic spot light.

Cons: Does not come with both ends of the wiring harness which makes the connectors that are attached to the light basically useless. Not really exceptional quality, but for $60.00 you get what you pay for. Next time I'll spend a few extra bucks and get all the necessary hardware/wiring with the unit.

Overall Review: The light from this unit is what I expected except that the "Flood" part in NOT a flood. This is a spot light.
