As a quick disclaimer, I based the above spec off of the PCS iCue Configurator, and a tweet from PCS regarding the competition kindly shared to me by @JUNI0R.

The motherboard was not specified, neither was the RAM besides being 32GB (although as RGB RAM it was either going to be 3200 or 3600mhz).

If you want a bit more clarification I would recommend checking out the PCS iCue configurator on the PCS website.

Edit: Here is the Tweet I was referring to:
Seems it’s now specified a STRIX 3080ti which is nice.

If I win this I promise to not post images of myself wearing a very tight t-shirt showing my lockdown belly creeping out of the fabric. If I don’t win, pics will be posted. Everyone loses… and possibly goes blind in the process. This is very much a threat 😜

Your move, PCS…

Doesn't scare me, I've seen much worse in the mirror every morning...plus I've been unfortunate to wake up in a cheap hotel with a fellow guest's bare ginger genitals about 3 inches from my face 😬

Only ever do single occupancy bookings now!

Its in the English dictionary, so counts as English :)
Unfortunately, American words are sneaking into the dictionary. We need to defend our language from the affronts being delivered to it by those who can’t be bothered to spell or pronounce words correctly. 😅

I get the humour in this but English is such a rich language precisely because it changes and grows. Have you ever tried to read Shakespeare in the original English? We don't even use the same form of English that our grandparents did. Language is not an end in itself in any case, it's just a means to communicate ideas.

I've had very similar conversations with the locals here. Greek is a very rigid language and native speakers really do wince when we use the wrong tense or the wrong case (Greek has 11 different forms of the definite article 'the' for example) and especially if we stress the wrong vowel. TBH it's maddening because I'm struggling to communicate and they're fixated on the nuances of the language. I understand why they do that though, the Greek language is part of their identity.

That's not really the case with English. It's not a pure language in any case and constantly borrows words from other languages as it evolves. In English it doesn't matter how badly a non-native speaker mangles the language, we understand what they're saying. I believe that's the main reason why it's the de facto international language. In Greek you have to pronounce every word absolutely correctly, your sentences must use the correct case, tense, gender, etc. or they really don't understand what you've said. That's why Greek is not the international language!

I have never seen the appeal of Shakespeare. To me it is just something to bore and torture school children. I get that languages change, but American use of English seems to dum it down, rather than enrich it. It isn’t just English - German pronunciation is murdered - and have you seen / heard how voila is spelled or spoken?
