Each PSU was name-brand, and "by-the-numbers" sufficient wattage.
However, each of them failed after 1.5~3yr.
Other than that, the systems were fine.
Community Reviews
This CyberPowerPC build stands out for packing an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K and RTX 5080 into a price that looks cheaper than assembling the parts separately. The included hardware appears to be a Phanteks EX5 MAX style case with a 6 inch LCD and 360 millimeter liquid cooler, and the case has drawn praise for better than expected GPU cooling in preliminary testing. The main concern is the unconventional case design, which can run a few degrees hotter under load and leaves little room for expansion. Build quality and long term reliability are also questioned, so the value is strongest if the component list matters more than the chassis.
Common Questions (4)
Build quality concerns include missing fans, poor wiring, loose screws, and a stripped radiator hole, and several CyberPowerPC desktops are reported to fail after roughly 1.5 to 3 years. The included parts can be fine, but long-term reliability and support are a recurring concern.
The case does not seem to trap heat badly, and GPU cooling is described as better than expected. Under load, GPU and CPU temps can still run about 5-8°C higher than a regular case, so airflow tweaks like flipping the rear fan or adding vents may help.
The build appears to use a Phanteks EX5 MAX-style case with a 6-inch LCD and an included 360mm AIO. The exact motherboard and SSD models are less clear, but the case and cooler are visible in the listing images.
At about $2399, the deal is described as cheaper than sourcing the RTX 5080 and 32GB of RAM separately, since those parts alone are estimated around $2000. Even swapping the system into a more conventional case can still leave it below DIY cost.

I've only had one pre-assembled desktop fail within that range, an HP which was still under warranty. Good thing I used it a lot every day! It was repaired and even got an upgraded CPU. Maybe they were not able to figure out what was wrong with it, so they just replaced the motherboard and CPU. It's very unlikely the CPU died. I took it to Microcenter first (authorized for HP repairs) then they eventually sent it to HP.
Of many PC desktops I assembled myself, only an ASRock motherboard died - just out of warranty. This may have just been bad luck.

Not sure what they were thinking, but it definitely isn't rational.
