    i have watched the video of the assembly of the wireless card. and i have a wireless card that is minipci from my dell xps. however it mounts differently and the one on the video mounts from the shorter side of the card. minipci mounts on bottom, longer side. Am i correct in guessing that the hel80 does not support this type of minipci??? where do i get one? this is driving me up the wall!

    instead of starting a new post, and since i am guessing they are PCIE, here is another question. are the TV tuner, and bluetooth pciE also? because i am having problems finding them online to buy. more so the TV tuner. any help on this from people that have bought them later on after getting laptops.

    It would probably be easier to get an external tv tuner(usb or pcmcia or express since you have all those option available to you) and a usb bluetooth adapter.
