Example 2 is nearly $400 more than the ASUS ROG from Best Buy.
This one is probably a better deal but also had 2 months wait time. Also no 3rd party offers to sweeten the deal when buying from Cyberpower. Many people used Amex/Chase offers when buying from Best Buy, not to mention cashback and Best Buy rewards.
My 3080 CyberPowerPC build was $1825. I don't remember seeing any 3080 from Dell at that price, extra offers or not.
Regardless, I'd rather have non-proprietary parts that you get from the other SI's or Best Buy.
Better off waiting for BB to have the CyberPowerPC or ASUS Strix pre-builts with 3080s for $1999. Those will use standard parts inside, giving you more options than a proprietary Dell system.
Or, you can order a pre-built all day long from IBuyPower or CyberPowerPC w/3080 for around $1899, although there is a 6-8 week lead. Again, no proprietary parts.

Happy mining / gaming.
for the price - not sure I will keep it
Call it crazy, but would take the Dell over the ASUS any day. Not to mention any other reasonably designed case option.
On the plus side, they are both mining away happily but the ASUS is simply cheap materials. I was able to get a reasonable deal price wise by using the 10% birthday coupon, so not too salty overall. Oh, and the CPU fan cooling looks sketchy too.
If you have this PC or looking to purchase one, enjoy, but for sure there are way better alternatives out there.
Same specs as this but had 1000w, liquid cooled CPU, dark side case, just 512gb NVME for about $2k w/ CA tax and shipping. Yes gets hot, will need to change/add fans and thermal paste/pads on GPU. Mining 94-99 Mh/s at 88-94C in SoCa weather.
