Looks like the O2 cam as well (at least the Logitech cam pictured is a dead ringer for it):

I love the PRISM design case, there are so many air ventilation holes on the front panel (really similar with MacPro case design). Tezro case I guess is pretty cool, but not as practical and portable as Fuel

Prism cases is cool. The moire effect from the double layered mesh is clever.

Wonder who designed the onyx2 deskside and O2, these are my favourites. Actually octanes, indigos and indy are nice too.

The O2 was done by Lunar Design , the Indy by IDEO .

These firms must walk a fine line - on one hand you'd want to claim credit for a great design, on the other hand you'd better not take the focus off your customer who's putting the same design before the customer as a part of their own identity/brand.

Nice to get a very, very thin slice of the development of the Octane design from Summit ID.
