I have seen dells with propreitary drive bays, you would need some plastic rails to properly fit drives into it or replace them. impotant when dealing with failed components.
mostly dell has just been overpriced. A word of warning on cyberpower, i had a computer from them almost a decade ago and it suffered from shoddy workmanship and many of the components failed after about a year. they might have become better, but do some due diligence.
