HP Pro Tower 290 G9, Core i7-14700, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, CPU Only (CA7Y3AT)
The HP Pro Tower 290 G9 (CA7Y3AT) is a compact business tower built around a 14th Gen Intel Core i7-14700 processor, delivering 20 cores and 28 threads for demanding multi-application workloads. This build ships as CPU only, so buyers receive the tower without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, which suits offices upgrading a system while reusing existing peripherals. Inside, 8GB of DDR4-3200 RAM covers everyday tasks, while a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD keeps applications loading quickly.
Because the i7-14700 packs substantially more cores than the entry-level chips in this series, the tower has real headroom for running accounting software, multiple browser windows, and background sync tools at once without slowing down. Intel UHD Graphics 770 handles day-to-day display needs, and two spare 3.5″ bays leave room to add storage later without replacing the primary SSD.

Perfect For
- Accounting and finance back-offices running heavy spreadsheet and ERP workloads, since the i7-14700’s 20 cores handle large workbooks and multiple background processes with room to spare.
- Cyber cafés and business centres in Nairobi and upcountry towns upgrading shared workstations, where the CPU-only format lets them reuse existing monitors across several bays.
- Design and system-integrator teams standardizing on one tower platform, since matching chassis across i5 and i7 tiers simplifies support and spare-parts stocking.
