Not bad, not bad, to expensive for my blood, but not bad. If you want 4080 performance I dont think there is a cheaper deal atm.
I do really like the look of these cases, looking at a few reviews (could only find the 13900k, 4090), it runs hotish, but gaming performance is as good as some of the more expensive pre-builts. I still have a 14 year old xps 8100 dell that I treated like shit, and it still runs most modern, non triple aaa games at 40-60 fps, only upgraded the gpu to a 1060.

I have a 2012 Alienware mini-tower that still runs lol. Never treated it with any care. It just chugs along.
It's too old to upgrade to faster RAM or graphics cards. But it sure still runs Diablo 2 and Starcraft with ease, and I've mined bitcoin with it before (got like 0.00000001 of a bitcoin LOL).
But yeah if I had spare money I'd jump on this for sure.
This system unfortunately incorporates relatively custom components in the form of an OEM motherboard and power supply.
This power supply is a 12 Volt Only style model. That style distinction is significant since although OEMs have started implementing their own versions of ATX 12VO for cost-savings as well as to meet certain efficiency requirements, what is being sold in OEM systems isn't really standardized in the retail space. So if the power supply needs replacement (outside of warranty) or upgrading, this challenge alone will create some issues well beyond a simple drive to Micro Center.
On top of that, the motherboard also integrates the front panel connections such as the USB sockets directly onto the motherboard. Though typical for many OEM systems such as those from HP, this also complicates replacement of the motherboard and/or case.
Some slickdeals for desktop PCs with these features often offset the limitations with a bargain price. However, high-pirced variants of this kind of highly custom OEM system are best ignored in favor of a PC which utilizes standardized motherboards and power supplies (which major OEMs do still offer!).

A quick glance at recent deals indeed confirms that the deal here is slightly cheaper than an active Dell XPS deal.
The current deal is slightly more expensive than a recently expired deal from Dell on an R16 system.
This deal is also slightly cheaper than an expired but directly comparable CyberPowerPC option from Best Buy. The notable distinction about the CyberPowerPC design being that it incorporates a standard motherboard and power supply, unlike the Dell Alienware and XPS models.
