    Posted: 25 Nov 2013 at 8:08pm
Greetings, all.

I got my Vanquish 4 last week and I've been having a heck of a time burning through a bunch of the games I picked up during this past summer's Steam sale. I'm now looking to add some peripherals and whatnot, and thought I'd come here for some advice.

Specifically, I want to use some devices that I'm going to need Bluetooth functionality for. Unless I'm mistaken, the Vanquish 4 doesn't come with that feature by default.

What's the best route for adding Bluetooth capabilities to my rig? Should I just buy one of those USB Bluetooth dongles and be done with it? Or would I be better off getting a Bluetooth card and installing it inside the rig? And if it's the latter, will that be particularly difficult to do?

Keep in mind that I've never worked on the inside of a PC, but am certainly willing to learn!

Definitely agree with Alex. I've tested a few different Bluetooth devices, and the dongles always performed just as well, if not better than the more expensive cards.

Thanks for the advice, guys! That's the route I'll go, then.

Agreed. A small usb Bluetooth device is small, inexpensive and easy to install.
