Wireless PCI or USB adaptor... Cheapest?

Anyone know what the best deal is on a wireless adaptor at the moment?
Just need to get internet, so doesn't matter if it's a bargain basement deal somewhere for B. For a desktop PC, so must be PCI or USB.

Thank you! :)

    If it's just to get on the net, how about a Wireless 11MPS PCI 802.11B Card for £8. Better than a USB dongle!

    :D

    Don't be put off by the high postage charge. Look at the bigger picture: £15 inc. postage is unfeasibly cheap! :D

    I recently purchased a USB wireless dongle from ebay and works a treat. As the previous post say, it's worth trying them out. The one I purchased is manufactured by a little known brand called TP-Link but it supports both WEP and crucially WPA encryption (the latter is more secure). When I purchased it, it costs me £16 including delivery. Cheap considering a similar dongle will cost me over £30 in the shops. Do a search for TP-Link on ebay.

    Hope this helps.

    Anyone else got any ideas? Was ideally looking to spend no more than a tenner, and buy something right now...
