I am building a new PC and will need a wireless card, my roomates are not too fond of 100 ft of wire snaking through 4 rooms. I was just looking for some advice on brands and models.

I was thinking just an el cheapo such as this; http://www.newegg.co...N82E16833166021

Thanks for any feedback!

You don't really want to go usb because of the limitations of the bus speed. Stick with PCI, and just pick up a d-link or linksys pci card. If you've got a draft N router, get an N card. Otherwise, any 30$ cheap-o card will work just fine.
