Best antenna for a desktop PC

I have a stationary desktop PC Id like to have wireless
to.

What would be best way to provide this desktop with a
wireless card and antenna?

Should I use a standalone USB wireless antenna on its
own mount? such as link below?

Or is it best to install a PCI wireless card and then
use an external antenna with THAT?

I guess I'm asking if USB or PCI is best network
adapter protocol for an external wireless antenna?

i just bought a giga-byte (brand) 802.11g pci card and it works great. it
says i get a 'good' signal strenth (witch isn't the best) but i assume that
its because its behind a lot of wires in the back of my pc. im thinking
about getting a 8 dollar annina extention for it but i have full 802.11g
speeds so i don't think i will any time soon. heres the link where i got it,
its a lot cheaper than the linksys your talking about:

that last email has a bad link, you need to copy and paste it or just
include the ='s at the end.
