NFC Receiver for desktop?

Is there any way for me to get NFC on my desktop?

I have not been able to find a product like what I want.

 

I have seen several NFC USB pad type things.

But I want something that I can stick on the inside of my case (Behind the 5.25" bays) and just tap my phone against the surface of the case to activate it. 

I use it on my laptop by placing my phone on the trackpad and then it opens the web page in the browser. That's the experience that I am hoping for. 

 

Anyone know of a product of the type?

I saw that. Too many useless features. 

I just want the NFC antenna. 

So I can have it internally.

Wait didn't Linus do a NFC tag easter hunt? So he should have linked the product page...

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

So I don't really know of any device that does this, but I found a video and a forum post that might be what you're into:

That's the hacky way to do it. And that is just a fancy NFC Tag. I want actual data transfer.
