As long are we are talking Microtik, this is what I'm thinking of getting for playing around with: http://www.wlanparts.com/product/ZZ-RB411-ROO/ Its a combo deal for 115$ that includes: 15dbi 2.4GHz Rootenna Mikrotik RB411 POE Power Supply and Injector RF Cable 3M Adhisive PCB Standoffs R52 Mini-PCI Card RJ-45 Waterproof Pass-Through And all fits in the single waterproof antenna enclosure. Pretty cool if you ask me.
