I have recently bought an HP Compaq Elite 8300 UltraSlim Desktop computer. After testing, I discovered that it does not have a wireless Web connection card. I opened the computer, and it is confusing compared to my other computers; the card slots seem to be unique (if that is what they are).

My question is: Do they make wireless cards for the HP Compaq Elite 8300 UltraSlim Desktop?
If not, is it possible to connect an external USB device that would enable Wireless connections?

It would appear to not have wireless networking included.

Very easy to purchase a wireless dongle to allow wireless networking. [strike]You can also purchase a PCIe wireless card, it's all a matter of preference.[/strike] oops can't do that with the ultraslim desktop case.

As far as details for what specs for the dongles... where is the computer located compared to your wireless router. If it's in the same room or nearby, you can use just about anything. If it's further away or may have weak signal, then you may need a more robust option.
