How to internalize Xbox 360 WiFi Adapter?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to internalize the xbox 360 WiFi adapter like Ben did in the Xbox 360 Portable?

He plugged it into the usb and built it into the case...

I think

Well, I can easily put it inside of the case, but was there any modifications to the actual antenna? The article says: Internal wi-fi module, no external antenna. Antenna is strung out inside unit like other consoles/laptops.

im sure if you took the thing apart, you could shed the actual case that its in and then it would be smaller

he SOLDIERED it to the usb, and replaced the antenna with long wires across the back of the case.

Ya antennas aren't really special, they are just insulated metal typically like wire. Supposedly a lot of debate of which alloy provides a better signal, but copper, aluminum, and steel typically produce the same results. Any insulated wire will the due that trick, and i strongly suggest insulated wire because you avoid shorts with other pieces of metal that might cause interference and the wire lasts longer providing that the coating prevents it from oxidising (if i spelt that correct).

If you use a wire antenna IT MUST BE A SPECIFIC LENGTH! The most common ratio seems to be quarter-wave. I don't know how long that is for 2.4GHz but it's probably pretty short.
