    Hello,
    I was asking myself if the CF-28 can give enough power on the mini pci socket for a high power wireless card from Atheros (700 mA on tx power consumption)

    I don't want to blow up my motherboard !!

    Thanks

    Put me on the list if you ever decide shipping anything out of continental US. Where I'm from, import tax or GST, kicks in at and over $400, so no worries over Customs.

    I'm genuinely keen for two cards and will Paypal in US Funds if it meets your approval. TIA!!

    that looks like a lot of bang for the buck. i think i'll be placing an order with them when they re-stock!

    Looks like another outfit that won't ship outside the US. If any of you guys want to get in on it, one of us will have to coordinate the deal!

    I don't know about the 600mW cards, but I got my 400mW cards from Pasadena Networks.

    I still want to score up a Ubiquiti though.

    HEY!!!! The hearse makes the forum debut!!!!! Whoohooo...

    You MUST have watched "6 Feet Under"!

    That's going to look way slick when it's finished!

    BTW... There are a lot of other places that sell the high-power cards for less than a few of the places we have mentioned. I find the one I want and then Google the model number... Then keep looking until I find the price I like. Then I usually order one... Just to see how I like them... Before I order any more than that.
