PTPro 180's did have a problem with the SCSI bus/logic boards, so Chuck may be right on the money? Power Computing replaced two on mine when it was still under warranty. They evidently fixed the problem, as it's been fine ever since. I ran into one of the All Mac tech's at MacWorld in SF last year and he commented that Power Tower Pro's had SCSI bus/Logic board problems often enough that they kept new boards in stock for them.
