Thanks Doc and all contributors! PM incoming.
I'm just now seeing this as well; since upgrading to Windows10, I haven't received CPF new post notifications. :shakehead

Got my Eneloops with extra goodies as well today. I especially like the USB dongle light; it seems to have a built-in light sensor; very cool! Thanks again, and again!

Thanks again Moldyoldy and Doc! Received switch, and some goodies, will make setting up the network in my new shop a breeze, and at 1GB/S may try setting up some thin client stations.

CAT6 or better cables will help maximize on G-bit network speeds. It's surprising the difference good cables can make.

And the most surprising part is that the differences is only in the way the wires are twisted and shielded inside the cable!

Happy to say we have another new contributor! So, next giveaway is live!
mjgsxr has offered up an extensively modded two D-cell Maglite. Most of the modding was done by vestureofblood. It has three output settings, L-M-H, with mode memory. It has been shortened to accept one 26650 cell, and will ship with a battery spacer for a secure fit. Light source is a neutral white XM-L LED. The reflector has a mild orange-peel texture, for a relatively floody beam profile (best for 100 meter range or less). You can charge a 26650 in the light using the included cables (small charge port for positive, magnetic negative on tailcap) and dummy cell. mjgsxr also installed a voltage monitor with LED indicator...starts off solid green, and goes to flashing red when charging is needed.
International entries are welcome...mjgsxr will ship directly to the winner. (Note: due to shipping regulations, a 26650 will NOT be included, you will need to pick one up on your own if you don't have one already.) Your post must include "I'm in for the modded Maglite" to be eligible. Winner will be determined by random draw at 2200 EST Wednesday, September 2. Winner can PM me or mjgsxr with name and shipping address to claim the prize. And as always, the rest of us would appreciate it if you included interesting content in your post also...a story, pic, video, or link...so that even those who may not participate will still find reading the thread enjoyable. Thanks!

For those that are not familiar with this light, I summit the following:
http://asflashlights.com/en/custom-maglites/50-1280-lumen-maglite-d-shorty-26650-xm-l2-u4.html
It's a Maglight for people like me, that Love the Nostalgia, but Hate the old tech! - VOB doesn't mess around!
Thank You, and Thank You, mjgsxr and Doc for doing this!
