PCI/e Bluetooth Card

Does anyone know if there's such a thing as a PCI or PCI-E Bluetooth card? Googling around reveals mixed Wifi+Bluetooth cards, but I'm not really after Wireless.

Any reason why you want a card rather than a USB dongle?

I cant say I've ever seen a dedicated bluetooth card. Id just buy one with a wireless card and disable the wireless function.

Just cosmetic - I'd rather it didn't stick out really.

I guess I'll just have to do this. At first I thought about picking up a Mini PCIe one but can't see an adaptor kit or that, so that's not going to work either.

Cheers.

you can get realy small bluetooth dongles these days clicky
as others have said i don't think there is such a thing or at least can't see the point in one with usb dongles being so small these days

an other way to do it, buy a usb2 card with an internal usb socket and plug a bt dongle in it.
