I just built a micro-atx Lion hackintosh with this motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131710
and everything works well. I'm looking to get wifi running on it through the pci slot and was hoping anyone knew of a low profile card that would work. I dont want to block the video card fan.

The PCI e x1 slot wont work because the video card covers it. unless there is some way around that without taking out the video card I have to use PCI.

Thanks
 
I would plug in a wireless bridge into your existing Ethernet port.
That way, you only need to configure you on board Ethernet port and not worry about finding a suitable PCI Broadcom BCM43xx device.
Also, you can borrow you wireless bridge for the occasional gaming exercise when needed.
All is happy then!
