Could i take a laptop`s wireless card, remove it and add it to a desktop? I know sounds cheap, sorry. I tried googling this and nothing came up, but yeah anyways i was just wondering i`m getting tired of all the wires in my house, plus i have 2 broken screen-less laptop with wireless card so i might as well give it use somehow. thanks in advance ^^

IF you had the right bu you could but that's unlikely and unless it's one of the old PCMCIA/Express-card ones then it's not going to work very well without modding as the aerial would be inside the case. Unless you have one of those rare PCI-PCMCIA/Express-card adapters laying about it's not really worth doing.
