Good lookin out Jesse.

Can you get wireless internet from desktop cpu's?
IN order to make your shit wireless, you have to make your modem wireless. Yo can do this by adding a wireless router to your cable(comcast) or DSL modem, and then purchasing an access point. THis can cost anywhere from $80-$400, depending on the brand, signal and security...yo dont want every Jack and Jane in your neighborhood stealing your internet.

The router is already in place in my home, I'm just wondering if you can get it with a desktop computer. Because it already works with labtops...

I have no fuckin idea with that means.

And that newegg.com site has a lot of tight shit for good prices...

Newegg is the only place i fuck with. If somethign goes wrong, they take returns and they are fast about it.

They also have the best deals on big screen TV's, sometimes $400 cheaper than any other place.

a/b/g are all standards of wireless technology, with g being the best right now. I am pretty sure a is obsolete, but b and g are both standard. y and n are comign next year and are faster and have a broader range.

N prototypes are here..but the standard is not here yet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11n

You can get N-draft...but thats is only a draft, as it states...

"802.11 is an IEEE standard that allows devices such as laptop computers or cellular phones to join a Wireless LAN widely used in the home, office and some commercial establishments. Although the N standard is still in "draft" stage according to the IEEE, many hardware vendors already sell "pre-N" or "Draft-N" hardware, based on the most recent draft. These vendors anticipate the final version will not be significantly different from the draft, and in a bid to get the early mover advantage, are pushing ahead with the technology."

"Work on the 802.11n standard dates back to 2004. Publication is currently expected in September 2008,[4] but major manufacturers are now releasing 'pre-N', 'draft n' or 'MIMO-based' products based on early specs."

N wont fully be here until next year, and y is coming soon...

No. Im telling you that Dell rips you off, and for what he needs this for, he is better off spending $350 for an "e-Machine" type (which is already built and software packaged), then to go spend 2x that on a Dell.
Are you serious???
