EagleSoft Ltd's New
Gamedev PC!
(Part 2)
Intro
In my previous blog post (part 1) last year on my project of building a new gamedev PC, the Big Eagle, the planned computer build was 75% complete, pending making some stickers and ordering/installing a few other hardware parts. Fortunately, I was able to order and install most of those parts since then, pushing the planned build to 95% complete. Also during that time, I bought a few more unexpected thrift store, online, and clearance hardware finds too!

Quoth the Eagle:
"To finish the build, I'm purchasing and installing a few final parts at a later date:
- Used Logitech G19 or G19s keyboard to replace the one that bricked
- PCIe cards
- 4K PCIe x1 HDMI capture card
- WavLink BE8800 WiFi 7/BT 5.4 Tri-Band PCI-e x1 card (WL-WN685BE3-B)
- Bought for $10 new 🤯 from a yard sale on Sat 05/10/2025
- To further upgrade and future-proof the WiFi/BT networking on the computer
- May not work on the AMD chipset included, requires NVMe protocol over PCIe (not suported on PCIe 2.0 x1 card bus)?
- Decorations
- Custom Big Eagle sticker for front bay area
- Create a custom EagleSoft Ltd. logo sticker for the Asus Turbo GTX 1070 custom decal area"
