Please forgive me as I'm a noob when it comes to building computers. Here's the situation, I have a mini-ITX motherboard that has a slot for a mini PCI-e wireless card. I also have a mini-ITX case that has a spot on the back of the case that you can punch out and attach a wireless antenna, but it doesn't have any internal wiring for the wifi antenna. What kind of cable do I need do go from the wifi card on the mobo to the slot on the back of the case? I've tried searching google but can't seem to find the right thing. Thanks in advance

Thanks, I think I found what I need! The only thing is that most of the wireless cards I've seen have connections for 3 antennas (802.11n) but my case only has a slot for 1. Will it work using just 1 antenna?

Yes it will work with just 1 antenna. No, not optimal.
