Best Desktop Tower Computers 2014

Best desktop computer I had yet

I updated from a 2014 iMac to a 2019 with 128GB of ram, but my trusty keyboard that has stuck with me through two computers wouldn’t work.. After a lot of research online I opted for the FCPX LogicKeyboard. It’s very similar to my previous one, but slimmer and more “elegant” The keys are extremely smooth, like the new Apples, and the layout is perfect.

In 2014 I bought a 23-inch HP All-in-One desktop. After 10 years of daily use, I bought a 2024 model as I wanted a faster one, but the 2014 model still works as great as it did when new. The new model is extremely fast and I am very happy with it. I have confidence that it too will work great for 10 years and still be going strong.

This unit is great for a small business who needs surge protection for tower style computers if they don't have a rack or there isn't space in the rack. It allows several devices to be connected. It's very reliable.

This is one chunk of a big UPS! Perfect for use under your desk next to a tower desktop computer or perhaps in a network closet. At 112lbs, it’s not easy to move, but the big battery module in this UPS allows a comforting 1 hour plus runtime with a not unusual 500W load. If you need to add a NMC, a smart slot is available. Just make certain that you have a NEMA 5-20R receptacle available to power this thing!

Made of metal, very sturdy. Does what it's supposed to do. It's pretty big, though. I keep mine on the top of my desktop tower, it's the only place it fits. My one complaint is that the area where the neck rises from the base is rounded slightly which means a slight bump from the front will send it clattering loudly to the floor (it's metal). This can be avoided by not bumping it.

I bought this to replace a GL10CS-DB762 Desktop Tower, so far it runs amazingly well. I typically run Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, & Illustrator) along with 3 - 24 HP Monitors while simultaneously streaming YouTube videos, running Microsoft Outlook and multiple Excel Spreadsheets. I have not noticed any slow down in performance running all of these tasks at the same time. I did immediately add a 2nd 1tb SSD Drive ( Model #WDS100T2X0E). My only concern is that they did not provide the screw (neither ASUS nor the HD Manufacturer) to secure the SN850X to the motherboard, fortunately I had one in my computer parts drawer. Other than that, I'm loving the i9 Processor and 32b RAM (2x16gb chips). My last 3 work computers have all been ASUS ROG and I've had amazing success with each one of them. I would highly recommend buying from BH Photo Video, they shipped my computer the same day and it arrived in perfect condition.

I'm using three of these now. They are portable, fast, reliable. I had been using a larger powered hub on my desktop tower and it had inadequate shielding that leaked voltage and damaged my computer power supply. Now I only use these standalone hubs for desktop, laptop, etc.

I use the Arc Mouse for my desktop, laptop and netbook computers. Very easy to use and the design makes it very comfortable to use. It takes just a little adjustment after switching from an optical mouse, but you will not go back.

I know that there are several companies out there who make good memory cards, but when I check my stash of memory cards, most of them say SanDisk on them. Likewise, most of the back-up memory for my Desktop computers say Western Digital (who owns SanDisk). My advice is to learn about the nuances of memory cards. The small print on similar looking cards distinguishes the capability, not just in GB capacity, but the generation of chip and the speed for reading and downloading. I also own some Sony and Delkin memory cards, but SanDisk makes good stuff.
