Internal wireless networking pc

kieran936 · October 4, 2014

hi, im new to building pc's and was looking into building when i came across a part of no knowledge. i know you can get a wireless desktop pc (obviously) but i would want an internal card but i have no knowledge of how to do this. i have looked on websites like ooverclockers and i have seen the usb methods but i would want it totally hidden so no antennas or usb slots with something sticking out. could someone give me some pointers on what i am looking for in this section. p.s if it had bluetooth 4.0 it would be a big perk.

thanks

The two options are:

1. Use a usb dongle which will be slower, and stick out.

2. Use a internal card which will be faster, but will have antennas.

There is not really a "Absolutely hidden" way of wireless networking..

i believe there are some motherboards that ship with i think its called mini pci (the laptop version) so you can put a laptop wireless card in side your pc and have antennas inside too... i could be wrong but it should be do-able...

the motherboard im looking at is 'Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 AMD 990FX' which i dont think has built in wireless. im not building a super expensive machine because im still only middle ages teen so around £800 with single gpu. what would be the best recommended type to use if i only have broadband currently (think standard fibre upgrade may be coming soon). also will they include bluetooth or would that require a second part, bluetooth is just for turtlebeach headphones.
