Default Setting Up A Wireless Connection

I have SBC Yahoo DSL and a wired router giving internet connection to my 2 computers. I have a 50-foot cord running under my carpet to the second computer but now that hardwood is being installed, that is going to be kind of a problem. So I'm going wireless. I'm getting the wireless modem through SBC so all I need now is a wireless adapter for my 2nd computer. This is where I get confused because a simple newegg search gave me about 300 options. What I need to know is what to buy for my 2nd comp. It can be through usb or internal because I have some PCI slots available. I just want to know what will be the cheapest thing to buy, but will still work at the same time.

Well, you can either get a USB Wireless Adapter or you can get a PCI Adapter. Actually, I have two Wireless NIC's that I'm looking to get rid of.

Let me know if you want more info. about them!

If you know the brand of wireless router you are getting, I would suggest getting a wireless card made by the same company.
