The XR5 is certified with a 31.4 dbi antenna. Nothing in the FCC certification says what type of antenna. Someone I spoke with familiar with the certification process said the type doesn't matter, only maximum (perhaps minimum too, I can't remember) gains.

2) Adding an FCC certified miniPCI wireless card with antenna within the card's certification from a different vendor to a computer with FCC certified components (either manufactured by Dell or DIY) sitting on a tower

There is absolutely NO difference..  You are missing a critical point:

Show me a miniPCI wireless card which has a certification for an outdoor AP style antenna. *That* is the point of this thread. None of the miniPCI based systems are certified because noone has bothered to certify the miniPCI wireless card with a correct set of antennas.

For instance, the Ubiquiti SR2 is only certified with a 3dbi omni from Hyperlink. Other cards are similar.
