Wireless Adapter/PCI Card

Hopefully I'll be starting my new build very soon. I've just realised I'd forgotten to add a Wireless adapter. My computer will be on the bottom of my desk so the back of the PC will be close to a wall - I'm wondering if a USB adapter would be more sensible than a PCI card, as the antennas would just be obstructed? I could stick a USB stick just in the front panel of the PC and that would seemingly give a stronger signal?
Not sure if it matters, but my router can only to wireless g/b not n.

Thanks

Tom

PCI cards are better in the sence of you cant break a USB port if you were to knock it.

That should suit your needs well!

cheers - actually i've just realised I think i have a desktop antenna somewhere, so I could always plug that into the cards antenna port if the signal is bad. thanks.

Or this if you can't find the antenna.
