Desktop Mobos with built in wifi?

[LaughingCheese]

Do any mobos with built in wifi like on laptops exist for desktops?

[Homer Gonerson]

Yeah, most of them still need an antenna sticking out the back though. The motherboard should come with it if it does have the wifi built in. I stray away from them though, in case the wifi decides to break :/ If a pci card does that, it's just a quick swap-out.

A number of ASUS boards have it, but unless you've got a small form factor system why would you need it? You'll pay almost as much extra to get a mobo with wireless as you would to get a normal mobo and a cheap wireless card.

Ok, so its probably better to just get a wireless card then?

Cool, I was looking at that also but just wanted to know if they existed.

Thanks.

Yeah, I've seen a few Asus boards with this feature, usually only the high-end ones though. In a lot of cases it's cheaper to get a motherboard that's within your budget, and then buy a PCI wireless adaptor, which cost peanuts these days.

:S I hope not.
Peanuts here are expensive, $20 a KG
