PB180s are great--congrats! They are built like tanks and definitely are mannish in their lines. I sent one to an old friend of mine who absolutely couldn't afford one at the time they were on the market and he was speechless. He reported himself strangely drawn to it, and this is a guy who does high end interface design so I guess there's something to it. The only downfall that I can ascertain is that eventually, the hard drive will take a dump and the fix it is either a moderately pricey set of adapters or a replacement vintage drive.

Best,

John
