Was talking about this in another thread but thought it may get missed.

Had some great help in choosing a mac pro over an imac and plan on waiting for the refurb 2009 models to appear, hoping on a good price.

What i need to find though is an apple wifi card for it as i know it's not fitted with one.

There are some on ebay but they don't look official one's.
There are a couple of great blogs to show how they are fitted but where can they be bought as apple don't seem to sell them.

I'm based in the uk

I bought one of these cards off ebay and installed it. Does anyone know where to get the screws to fix the card in place?

The seller I bought it from on ebay gave me two screws

Yes, that's the correct part number, so it should work. The upgrade kit should include the mounting screws (at least the one I got for my 2008 MP did).
