    NP! :) I've ordered a few things from dealextreme, and they have turned out just fine! : )

    Here is another option from meritline for $4.99 Free Shipping...(takes forever)...lulz. But to give you an idea.

    I picked up a couple of these IOGear ones and it has worked great with all my windows 7 installs using ITB software (although I can alternatively download the broadcom drivers if I wanted more sw features). Much cleaner than trying to get many integrated BT devices to work. I think it was $6 or so at Fry's.
