I must have an extra hole in my head, I can't find any of these anywhere.
I really don't want another USB device, I'd rather keep it clean and find a card to install inside the guts, but I can't find them anywhere, Newegg, OWC, MacMall, nowhere.
Any leads????
thanks!

The PCIe G5's use a combo AirPort extreme/Bluetooth 2.0 card, the previous PCI/PCIx G5 have seperate AE and BT modules, Bluetooth module can be had from eBay sellers for $25`40.

OK, so for my G5 Dual 2 Gig from a year ago...
The new combo card wouldn't work then?

According to MacTracker, there are dual 2.0 G5s with and without PCIe, but if yours is from before October of last year, then it's the one without. Which means you should go for the eBay option newtech mentioned above. IIRC, in the later models (with the combined BT/AX card), Apple didn't sell the combo card separately, which would imply that they'd be harder to find today. So hopefully you've got the old one and can go the eBay route.
