CyberPower PC, beware

Hardware & Tech Questions

Not to discount @ST0RM ’s experience with CyberPower (which sounds frustrating)…back in late November I had ordered two of their PCs for the boys with 3000 series cards (can’t remember now what is in them) and they came on time, with great cable routing and a pretty clean build. They have been running just fine since Christmas. That might have been just at the beginning of the 30XX card crunch…so maybe they had a good inventory at that point.

Sorry to hear you are getting a run around…with so many people having turned inward over the past year it is not surprising that parts are off the market. Like @chipwich said…getting bicycle components has been tough for 6 months…and the used market is pretty bare bones too.

To add to what Beach said, the good news about scarcity is that a glut usually follows, along with lower prices. I’ve been holding content with my 2080ti, and know that the longer I do, the lower cost of ownership, not counting an inflated resale. Sure, I’d love a 3080, and had they not been so scarce, probably would have bought one by now. The influencers sure loved telling us 2080ti owners how abused we had been by Nvidia.

I made a whole account just to know, did it come yet?

Yes it did. It was late and the global situation really didnt help. But their communication was partly to blame as well. All in all, I got my rig and its a rocket. Good luck!
