As above.
I dont want aerials sticking out the back of my box (oo-er) so looking for something than cant really be seen.

Have a spare PCIe slot on my MB, looking to maybe get an internal Wifi card (like the laptop ones?)

So whats my best option, internal PCIe or USB?

Not sure if its relevent but my case is a Streamcom FC10, very thick aluminium. Not sure if this will affect an internal wifi card?

If USB would be looking for one of the tiny thin ones, not the big bulky dongles.
 
thanks.
Would you say between the two I mentioned though usb or internal.

I'm asking as its a build for someone else and the "dongle on a lead" approach might not work for them.
Its just something to get them started, will be wired ethernet but want to give the facility should they want it later.

thanks
 
Any recommendations for a usb adapter guys?
Edimax any good?

Dont want a large dongle and they do one that is tiny.


cheers.
 
thanks for that, is there a USB dongle though that isn't as big and bulky thats good?
I've seen ones similarly sized to the Logitech wireless keyboard fongle which is tiny.

cheers.
