I've have both models at home. Main diffs are

GX280 does not have ps2 keyboard/mouse sockets, only usb.

Different type of video socket, GX270 is AGP GX280 is PCIe

Different memory types, DDR1 v DDR2.

GX280 has a more powerful dual CPU processor. the downside of this is the fan can be a bit noisy to keep the hotter CPU cool. On the small form factor the fan revs up noticeably when the CPU usage gets up to around 50%, eg if converting audio or movie files, or photo editing. The GX270 seems for even in this respect, so the fan speed doesn't vary much.
