Can a All-In-One computer be used as a monitor for a desktop?
I Was considering upgrading my computer and i was debating what kind of computer to get and I was wondering. The monitor on my All-In-One computer is great and is a nice size; So If I were to buy a Desktop ( Tower Only ), Would I be able to simply use a Connection of Sorts to simply use my All-In-One as a Monitor only, Or Would I have to modify Something to even Do something like that?

Practucally no. You could get remote access software, which is the nearest you will get.
Computer monitors are not reallt expensive, so get one.

Not exactly, there are various ways in which you could use this all in one computer as a display for another pc but the all in one will always be fully powered on as in the internal pc will be on wasting power.
You could connect a new pc's vga or video out to a video input connection on the old all in one. The all in ones video adapter may already have video input or you may have to add another card or a usb dongle.
You could also use remote desktop software in windows, osx or linux or configure the all in one as an xterminal to connect to another pc set up as an xserver.
