Hello,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments. We are aware that Dell has ceased production of the Optiplex GX270. Currently we are intently searching and testing other models that may be certified for ETS for the desktop. In the meantime, you may try to find a PC that meets the criteria specified in the following documents linked below:

We believe that if a PC meets these requirements, it may be converted to an ETS desktop. However, since we cannot test every model of PC available, it is difficult for us to guarantee or certify that.
Hope this information is helpful. Please beware t
hat we are actively looking for another certifiable PC and we will release that information as soon as we find one.
Thanks for your cooperation.
