What are the wireless options for internet connections on custom pc.

All the options beside usb have ugly looking antenna protruding out of the case.

Another question is, why do brand name desktop all have wifi but no antenna?

most probably have internal antenna or antenna that is fix to the case.

Either very tiny nano USB adapter with bad connection and slower speed or USB adapter with antenna with better connection and faster speed.

This. But PCIe will always be superior to USB.

If want to save on costs dig out the WiFi card from an old notebook and buy a $15 mPCIe to PCIe adapter board.

well ofc cos even u can with a usb 3.0 (max 5GBps) vs PCI-E x4 or x8

well that kind of cost saving always quite hard to go with as u still need to do some wiring work to get antenna working as well
