hi! If you try going to http://www.pricewatch.com and enter "802.11 pci" as your search query, the first item you will come up with is an 802.11 pci card for $24 + shipping. I have no idea who these folks are and i'm guessing that you get what you pay for (imagine that!) :-) so, you might want to order one and test it before you place a large order.
One other thought-- why not just use USB WLAN NICs? Much easier to install... plus you'll probably get better coverage by orienting the USB device above the desk (perhaps on a shelf?), rather then the PCI cards, which will probably result in the antenna being under a table somewhere or burried in a corner because it's "stuck with" the PC Chassis. Of course, you could always use an external antenna, if it is supported by your PCI WLAN NIC, but that adds extra cost.
