Dell OptiPlex GX280 BTX review: Dell OptiPlex GX280 BTX

 

Dell OptiPlex GX280 BTX

Quiet operation; strong performer; easy to service, thanks to modular interior and front-mounted diagnostic LEDs; three-year warranty with onsite service.

No speakers; no FireWire ports; little room for internal expansion; IT software must be downloaded.

Strong performance, excellent service, and quiet operation combine to make the Dell OptiPlex GX280 a good fit for busy offices.

A brawny desktop for companies without space constraints.

No DVD drive ; Uses LP add in cards
