If you are looking at the different models (20,40,60,80,160) of PS3 Phat, are there any noticeable differences?
If I buy a used one, short of turning it on, I wanna make sure that I am getting the correct hard drive size.
Or if I go new, is the 160 (Drake's Fortune bundle) model any good?
The hard drive size is not the important part...every PS3 comes with a tiny hard drive, and any of them can be easily upgraded to 500GB for cheap.
The important part is if it plays PS2 games. The units that play PS2 games have four USB ports on the front, and tend to be rather unreliable compaired to the later fatlines with two ports. All fatlines will run linux.
I am wondering if, when you physically (with your eyes) look at the fat systems, say the 40 and the 160, are there any differences? Colors, shape, ports?

Then the pirate selling games relabeled Assassins Creed 1 and called it Assassins Creed 2. This is called marketing.
Your friend is honest and thinks she plays AC2 on a PS3. In reality she is playing AC1 on a PS2.
Well, let's see here... I remember that the original 60GB had chrome plating, whereas the 20GB was all black, and the 80GB and on had a less shiny silver coating (whatever it was called).
There are differences in USB ports, too, like KillerBug pointed out, as well as the presence of memory card readers.
At just a glance, though, there's nothing about the different models that makes them instantly differentiated from each other.
