Replacing wireless card with bluetooth card x51?
Ive had my x51 since September and new to pc gaming. I dont use the wireless card and so would like to replace it with a bluetooth card (i had bluetooth on my laptop and miss using it for my phone).
I know you can remove the card as ive seen Dells tear down video on youtube. It looks very small but dont know what connection it uses. If someone could confirm and if you have any recommendations as to a bluetooth card that would fit it would be appreciated.

i have a similar situation
i changed the default wifi card to intel centrino advanced N 6235.
The problem that i am facing is that my x51 is able to detect the wifi module but not the bluetooth module. Its not even shown in Device manager. I tried downloading the latest drivers from Intel.
Feeling weird, i tried the card on my m17x r4 and both wifi and bluetooth module are detected. Work flawlessly, hence eliminating the possibility of a faulty card.
Please help.

Hi Phragzy,
This was answered on this thread. The X51 contains antennas for the WiFi and not the Bluetooth.
A good option could be a Bluetooth USB dongle.
