    I am (still!) researching all I need to know and buy for building a barebones Clevo M560A (Sager 5320). The only problem I'm having are the wireless and bluetooth cards.

    Is THIS the correct wireless card for this notebook ?

    Now, for the same notebook... is the type of bluetooth module used an internal usb dongle, or a mini pci card? The product specs of the notebook say it is a BT v 1.2 USB interface. However, Chaz's review of this notebook (Sager 5320, same thing) show that the inside of the laptop has a CARD slot for a bluetooth module. Which is it?

    The bluetooth card is special. See the sticky at the top of the forum, it's the same card that goes into the 5720.

    That wireless card you linked was getting some pretty bad reviews, I wouldn't trust it.

    It can take any mini-PCI wireless card; however, given the success I've had with my Intel PRO2915, I recommend that. Try www.buy.com, they might have it.

    You'll have to order the Bluetooth module from a Sager dealer - www.powernotebooks.com has it.

    But isn't the card I linked... the same as any other Intel PRO Wireless 2915ABG?
