Does this exist?

I have this PCI WiFi card i'd like to use for an ITX board that has no PCI slot.
Is there such a device that will allow me to plug in this card that plugs into a USB port? Like a pci to usb converter? Google seems to mostly show me USB cards.

Sell and get either PCI-e version if your board has PCIe slot(you can use the basic PCIe 1x device in 16x graphics slot), or basically get USB dongle. There are some PCI to USB converters but I don't think that would make your networking reliable.

I believe they do exist but they're pretty niche, and as Sheep said, you're probably going to save a lot of time and hassle just getting a USB adapter.

Or just get a USB wifi stick, they are extremely cheap.

If you had a thin mini-itx board with MSATA and mini-pcie you could use a centrino card. Or you could get the Gigabyte board with the WIFI on the motherboard already with the antennas for like $149. A wireless USB Stick is nice too.

450mbps $40 for PCIE. Be careful when you buy wireless cards/devices. This has a longer range and is faster. However, you might find something cheaper in the 150mbps or 300mbps range.

I just did a search on Yahoo. Maybe there is some kind of adapter and maybe a wifi USB device will work better. I dont own this but it had a good rating.

Some remote controls come with WIFI if that is what you are looking for:
