I need a tower for my desk top. I only need it for Itunes and a little web surfing. Will this work for what I need?

Tara, a GX280 Tower will meet your needs without a doubt. I am very impressed with its speed and memory. Enjoy!

Should have no problem with that. You may want to upgrade to Windows 7 though, since XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and you will not get any further security updates for it.

Yes Tara king it will work. I just love my computer. It hasn't. Given. Me any problems. What so ever. Iam always. Surfing and downloading. Music.it was a great buy!!

yes, should play just fine, just won't have all of the bells and whistles that a high-end desktop would. for another 45 bucks, you can go to Kingston and buy 2 4gig sticks of mem for an easy upgrade!

I couldn't get the tower to work properly from home. It worked just fine at Data Doctors and with their monitor and their printer. I sent it back to Amazon because after many different tries Data Doctors couldn't get it to work from my home. My monitor at home would show the start screen but that's all. I couldn't connect to the internet from my home. I didn't try my printer because my HP printer was not compatible with Windows 8. I hope this helps.

Yes, desktop and Laptop for sure. I think you can also use it for a printer , since it has 2 USB ports. I think almost anything that will connect to the internet.

I use it into a NAS as it is designed to run 24/2h every day. But it should work into a desktop, provided this desktop runs an operating system able to handle 4 Giga bytes disc drive. But in such conditions it is perhaps a bit luxuous to use such a powerfull device.

I'd consider a full tower. Just my opinion. I tried medium, but always felt it is not enough space.

Can you? Yes. Should you? No. As Andrew Agustin mentioned, this is a processor meant for energy savings (think of a school, library, or office setting). I use it to power a small file server and though it runs just fine, if I use it as a regular desktop and try to browse the internet while streaming music it will shoot to around or over 50% utilization (idle runs at 10-20%). The OS installed is Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center (thanks to an academic license, which is just plain idiotic to give away as that OS retails for around $1,000 easy).

This is as close to a desktop as you can get with a laptop(well Falcon but pricier). This should easily handle everything you listed. I would suggest a solid state drive as well if you are concerned about power and speed.

To be honest, I haven't used it for that too much. I have done some music editing, and it seems to work just fine. I use my tower at home for most of my video work, this is just a travel machine.

If your tower is taller than 25", then no, it won't. The desk is real nice for the money though. If it had casters/rollers it would be perfect.W Staley

No! It's for a desktop; especially one with a case layout large enough for it; i.e. 2 bays.

I own it and I am slowly building my own computer from it. No matter what I connect or consider adding, this computer can take it. Remember, though, that this is a mini tower, so you can't buy regular parts for it. You have to use the mini motherboard and everything else. I made that mistake and the poor seller agreed to take back the huge motherboard I had bought.

It would be a little tight I guess length wise. It's a bit narrow so you will probably have to see the dimensions and match them with your tower. Though the table top has ample of space to for any laptop. The top is specious.

I can't answer that. I use it as an computer in a operatory. Plenty fast and runs my dental software perfectly. I also bought the docking bay with the extra usb and network ports. One thing to mention, it can run all types of music from different web sites unlike my I-pad in which most radio station sites do not work except Pandora and I do not have to down load only from an I store. Yhus my illegal mp3 files and places to get them should run just like my PC

It does great for everyday internet gaming and multi tasking office business. But i wouldn't reccomend it as a full time gaming station.

No.Office Pro would cost as much or more than the tower. Install Open Office Suite instead. Just as good and it's FREE

You could use it for that. But, you need a hard drive to install into it. You might as well buy a WD Book, and use it for all three. I just bought a 4TB book to do the same thing. But, it was over $150 bucks. I also have a 3 TB 'wireless' external hard drive (book). I use 2 computers to store info, so that I can use either computer, and not have to re-hook up my book. Can get files, for my laptop, or desktop. I filled up 3 TB pretty fast. It was around $150 also. But, I love it. desktop is 7 and laptop is 8. No problems accessing from either. Spend the bucks. If you can.
