What an idiot I am. I ordered a machine from them. I paid for 2 Enermax fans for the cooler. The machine came without them and only one standard fan was attached. When I called support, I was initially given a hard time. I was told they would only send 1 fan because one came installed even though it wasn't what I paid for. I wound up contesting the charge with the credit card company. They finally sent the correct fans which I installed myself and I dropped the dispute.
Well today one of the hard drives failed. I called support again. Now they tell me I have to send the hard drive back to them at my expense and only then will they send a replacement. If I want to pay for expedited shipping I can at my own expense as well.
I told them that was unacceptable and asked for credit for the returned drive so I could go out and purchase a new one myself. That was also not an option. I was given the option of returning the whole machine to them at my expense. Great!!!
The machine was put together very poorly. The drives they are using are junk. The "warranty" is absolutely worthless to top it off.
This was a very bad purchase decision on my part. They have a web site with lots of options and reasonable prices so it is easy to lure you in. I have previously built my own machines but this time I wanted to avoid the hastle. I will wind up having to rebuild it myself anyway. I should have returned the machine when I had the chance.
Update: Read the response from Cyberpower. It is a stock "sorry for the inconvenience" and their resolution is still the same, send back the old part, wait, wait, wait and eventually they will send you the new part. They just reinforced my review. If you need a machine that is built well, functions well and has great after sale support if you have a problem, don't get your machine from Cyberpower. On the other hand if your machine breaks and you can get by for weeks without a functioning machine then I guess Cyberpower is your kind of vendor.
