Default Picking up wireless with a desktop

Okay I'm currently building a desktop computer but I'm not to sure how be able to pick up wireless internet with it, because my dad won't allow me to have a line in my room so I have to use wireless. Don't call me a n00b or say I suck at computers for not knowing this, I just want help not some idiot's pointless comment.
Thank you in advance.

Well I'd probably get a couple of cheap wireless LAN/bluetooth dongles. I've heard that bluetooth setups tend to be crappy, not sure about this... someone else might be able of bringing more light into this.

And if I were you, I wouldn't worry about anyone insulting you, no matter how nooby questions you ask. People here seem quite friendly (except for some trolls/flamers that sometimes come along...)

There are 2 different ways that I think you could do it---you could put an internal wireless adapter while you are building your system(as long as you have an available pci slot) or you could get a usb wireless adapter. I have my kids computer hooked up with a wireless adapter on the 2nd floor of the house. Newegg.com has the adapters you will need.
