I recently bought a new Alienware area-51 7500 model and I'm waiting for it to be built/shipped.

I've used a laptop for some time, and I run on wireless. The laptop came with a wifi card built right in, and I didnt think about it before I bought my new pc.

Before it gets here, I need to know does this desktop come with wifi built in or does it just have ethernet plugs (I'm restricted to wifi where I live)?

If that is the case, I have to get a separate receiver that plugs into a USB port to detect the wifi.

I'd like to know before it gets here so if need be, I can get the hardware in advance.

Please shed some light on this for me, somebody
 
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66 GHz 6 MB Cache 1333MHz FSB
Graphics Card: 512 nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Motherboard: nVIDIA nForce 680i SLI MotherBoard

Is the basic info, if you need any more ask
 
Most likely you will need to add a wireless card, as desktops usually only come with wired NIC's.
 
Alien - I've seen USB Wireless-G adapters at my local Fry's for $14.99. I'm pretty sure there was a $5 mail in rebate with it too.
 
Ended up getting a D-Link WDA-1320 Wireless G Desktop Adaptor. Hope it works, I should get my PC sometime next week.
