Again, even if such card is found, how do I get the antennas out? Do EVGA expect me to cut holes in the back plate myself? And the argument that "you don't see antennas on laptops" is quite original, but let me point out that very rarely laptops are steel boxes, besides there are antennas inside laptops, they are just not visible and sometimes can be quite lengthy. All other boards I've reviewed, and not only with X99, but Z97 as well, and if wi-fi capability is intended, provide some cutouts on their backplates... it appears EVGA had something else in mind, because I can't imagine them simply forgetting to put it there. So either X99 mini is not capable of proper wi-fi set up (as the marketing description claims), or there is another way around, and frankly speaking I can't think of any... hopefully we can get a clarification from EVGA soon.
