I have my sig rig and an old dell dimension 3000 what do i need to set up a wireless network? People have told me just a wireless router and hook it up with ethernet to my sig rig but how do i get the signal to my dell thats like 100 feet away. I cant run an Ethernet cable that far.

Buy a pci card to put in your dell, It is a card that can detect wireless signals (wifi).

Um... is it seriously 100 ft away from your other computer? Or is it on the opposite side of a house?

I would either get a wired or wireless router, flash it with DD-WRT and then get the neccesary equipment (NIC's, Wireless NIC's, Cables, etc).

You could run the cable that far, but you would need to run it through the wall or in the crevice next to the carpet. If you ran it through the carpet you would probably need a repeater or switch.

well i couldnt find any good PCI cards to use. Ive searched newegg for a little over half an hour now and havent found any that are reasonably priced or any that have gotten more than 3 eggs. Do i have any other options?

What do you mean "reasonably priced"? You arn't going to find anything under Twenty Dollars that is at least Gig connection or from a brand name company.
