I read where the G5 requires an external, t-shpaed antenna for the airport card to work. The casing apparently blocks the radio signals.

If you try to install an airport extreme card aftermarket, does this antenna come with the airport card? Is it already built onto the G5?

I see where you will need to buy an external bluetooth adapter if you don't get bluetooth installed originally from the apple store. The bluetooth in the G5 is apparently built into the motherboard if you order it that way, and there is an external antenna for bluetooth as well.

Any thoughts on this? Will you have to purchase an airport antenna for your G5?

Head over to the Apple site and view the Power Mac G5 Specs. Note the included hardware accessories:

Apple Keyboard, Apple Mouse, USB keyboard extension cable, DVI to VGA adapter, modem cable, AirPort antenna
