I watched the Newegg thing and he didn't specify about getting Wifi, do mobo's come with it or does one need an adapter of some sort? If so, what is a good one and where would I get it?
Yes, you would need to buy an adapter for WiFi, what type would depend on where your router is, if it's within a good 15 feet running a Ethernet cable would be much much better then WiFi, if it's too far to run cable but there isn't a wall between the router and the desktop a USB dongle would work ok, but if it needs to go through a wall or a good distance a PCI card would be your best bet

That's good, my router is right next to my desk, so like 3 feet away. Would I need to buy an extra Ethernet cable? They're the yellow ones, right?

I recommend wired. They're yellow, blue, green. So many colors.

most have integrated gigabit ports, though why they have it that fast i will never know
Because in places of the world that aren't backwards when it comes to ISPs, 1Gbps and higher internet speed is pretty common, and cheap (In Seoul for instance, a 1Gbps up/down line will run you around $28 USD per month).

What! I'm guessing New Zealand is backwards, we are still running ADSL/ADSL2 Lines. The government has only just started putting in fibre.
And the sad thing is, highest speeds here in New Zealand (that I've seen) never get over 20Mps up/down.
Exactlly :| My download speed (according to speedtest.net) is 7mb p/s download, and 0.5mb p/s upload. The best I have seen is the fibre optics they have available in some business areas. My friends datacentre serverbox makes use of it. Last time I checked it was hitting 100mb p/s download and 70mb p/s upload.
My two cents worth....
Gigabit networking while useless for internet (in Australia until we get NBN) is a must if you need to copy files and make backups across your home network between computers. Until I bought a gigabit switch, it used to take over an hour to transfer 60gigabytes of data but now it takes only around 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of files and whether or not encryption is turned on for Windows 7 networking.
If you buy cables, make sure you get Cat 5e or Cat 6 (don't get crossover if you connect via a router or switch) otherwise you will be limited to 100 megabits/sec.
Hope that helps you

They can be any color.

The only ethernet port.
Or well, any color. They are also very cheap.

Isn't this on the assumption he has an ethernet card in the first place?

It's cool, we basically invented the internet.
Means we have to rip everyone off here for it.
