Using the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey (RASS), we examine the X-ray properties of a statistically complete sample of 294 nearby (z < 0.09) Abell clusters from our VLA 20cm survey (Ledlow & Owen 1995) and 49 Poor Groups (z < 0.03) (Burns et al. 1996). Our analysis includes a catalog of all significant (> 3σ) X-ray peaks, an analysis of the X-ray extents, identification of ICM emission, comparison to optical cluster properties, and a cross-correlation with our radio galaxy catalogue. We will make optical/X-ray overlays of the cluster fields available over the WWW in the near future (see http://astro.nmsu.edu/~mledlow for updates).
