Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This Odyssey rack feels solid and, well, heavy. There are panels on the top, front, and back. The top panel hinges open and can be removed altogether. After you unlatch them, the front and back panels are a little tough to pop open, because the carpeted panels fit snugly.
I picked this rack for these reasons. First, I needed a rack that would fit an Allen & Heath ZED14. With 11u on the top, this rack will definitely do the job. (Maybe a 10u would have worked, but I wanted to be sure.) Second, it seemed durable and the price was right. Third, it was in stock and eligible for prime shipping. Fourth, Odyssey has a Web site dedicated to spare parts called "odyssey-parts" which gives me confidence that I'll be able to find parts should I need them.
Customer support via email has been great. Originally, I thought there was a problem with the rack rails, so I sent an email. I couldn't get a 1U unit to mount with all four screws. Customer support was helpful and was willing to ship out replacement rails to me.
As it turns out, later that day, I discovered I was wrong. Since I am new to rack mounting, I thought each any every hole would be the same distance apart. As I found out today, the EIA spacing works like this 5/8" + 5/8" + 1/2". You can find pictures of what I'm talking about if you search for "eia rack spacing." The problem with mounting my 1U was that I was trying to mount it 1/2U in the wrong direction.
