hey, facepunch. I was recently using my computer and it crashed (It kind of looked like a NES catrage was tilted) so I shut it off via the power button and turned it back on, once I saw it was working I shut it off again and decided to run a can of compressed air to get the dust out (it had overheating problems before) to see if that worked. After I deemed it clean, I skrewed everything back on and replugged it in. Now i'm getting the error: Reboot and select Proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. Heres the specs I was able to get: [B]

Do note I dont know a lot about computers, just the basics.
Sounds like it's not detecting the hard drive. Check the BIOS and make sure that your hard drives are showing up (The shortcut key for the BIOS should appear when the computer first turns on, if just a logo appears, try F1, F2, delete, f11 and f12)
Check the power and data cables on your hard drive and the connection between it and the motherboard.

Did you remove any heatsinks? If so, you need to remove anr re-apply the thermal paste.
Also check if all HDD power and SATA connectors are connected.
Finally: Dont buy Cyberpower (or any prebuildt) "gaming"pc's anymore. They usually cheap out on everything.
Your hard drive may have disconnected while you were dusting the inside. Check to see if anything is disconnected from the motherboard.
