"Cyber-Up Your PC" is the name of a competition that CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has launched. If you submit the most beautiful PC case design in the style of Cyberpunk 2077, you will win a system from Alienware with a rare Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Ti in the Cyperpunk 2077 edition.
We tell you what you have to do for it.
The competition
Everyone who at least 18 years old can submit his design proposal until May 17, 2020 at 3 p.m. Central European Summer Time. Assembly is not necessary, a design concept is sufficient.
This can be done either in the form of a picture / painting (three in total: once from the front and both sides) or as a 3D model. However, physical models can also be submitted.
The requirements
- According to the rules, the design must be based on the Alienware Aurora R9-PC (picture above).
- CDPR's style guidelines must be followed. The case design must either contain the logo of a mega-corporation, a gang or other style elements, such as kitsch, neo-kitsch, entropism, neo-militarism from Cyberpunk 2077.
- For the most part, it should consist of at least one design part made from recycled material (for example, an old printed circuit board as decoration).
- The ideological, financial and social contrasts of Night City are to be mapped.
The final
A jury selects the five best design proposals for the final (July 17-18, 2020). These are assembled by the finalists and professional case modders. Each modding group has an Alienware Aurora R9 and a budget of $ 2,000 each for building materials.
The venue of the final has not yet been determined. Depending on the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, it will either be held at CDPR's headquarters in Poland or online.

The main prize
An Alienware Aurora R9 with a rare Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Ti Cyberpunk 2077 edition is the winner. There are a total of around 200 pieces, 78 of which have been raffled recently.
The CPU of the PC is somewhat ambiguous, however: the description on the German homepage of the competition speaks of a Ryzen processor with 16 cores, while the following list of components refers to a Ryzen 9 3900 with twelve cores. Either way, the calculator to be won is very fast.
The specifications of the winning PC according to Cyberpunk.net:
- AMD Ryzen 9 3900
- Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Ti Cyberpunk 2077 edition
- 16 GB DDR4 @ 2,933 MHz
- 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD + 2TB SATA-HDD
- Windows 10 Home (64 bit)
- Alienware peripherals
For places 2 to 5 there is still an Alienware Area 51m laptop with a Core i7 9700K and Geforce RTX 2080.
