If I decide to go without a nic and instead only use onboard wireless, would this be okay?
What I'm mainly asking is, is onboard wireless good to actually use?
I know onboard graphics are by no means a replacement for a video card so is it the same.

I think the way the NZXT Tempest is built, having an antenna coming out of an expansion slot won't work.

I wouldn't get the motherboard just for onboard wireless, but, if the one that I was getting came with it, I would use it.
Okay thanks both.
