racer Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Posted November 22, 2004 14.99 my next issue is that im across the house from the router. so ill need a long cable. is it possible to make my own? and would it be cheaper? Quote
fixitrod Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 (edited) You do need to look at the slot it going into. I agree, it's most likely a pci slot. Probably doesn't even have any isa's. The pci slot will be white. Edited November 22, 2004 by fixitrod Quote

racer Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Posted November 22, 2004 a 100' cat5 wire is like 60 bucks. wireless would be more expensive, plus ive already got the wired router. im doin this cause im gonna slowly build a new computer for college, and you cant do anything in college with out a H/S internet connection.

Wallrat Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Ya wireless is definately the way to go. It'll probably cost you $100 to go wireless but its so much easier and you'll thank yourself down the road. You could even offset the cost by giving your neighbors access to your web and charging them some money. Quote
