USB is good. But sometimes the main box is beneath the desk and it's not that comfortable to put a USB thing where you might kick it. PCI brings a lot trouble. And if i recall correctly PCI is more expensive than USB one?

Or a third option is to use a router as a bridge. (I assume the desktop has ethernet/RJ45.)

The advantage is that a router, with a integrated 4 port switch, allows other devices to be connected to the LAN with the desktop.

Or go the route of a "gaming adapter" such as the Trendnet TEW647GA at Amazon.com for $40.

Recommend the guy a wireless N router that has bridging mode! :p

I'm interested in this too actually.. Looking to replace my WRVS4400N.
