Indy and Indigo were strong. The door on the Indigo2 was bad. I never had
issue with the Octane, but it's a heavy mofo. The Onyx/Challenge L was
fine, sure it's possible to damage the side vents but that's true of
anything.
Origin 2000 was fine, I can't think of bad points there. Origin 3800 was
fine.
Indigo2 door was an issue (way undersized plastic snap thing).
Origin 200 was a mess, but that was ment to be a rackmount and was skinned
out as a desk side.
Challenge XL / Onyx rack were totally badass.
