Dual NIC and a Wifi

Ok, I got this small POS computer that is currently being used as my monowall router.
However, it has no onboard NIC. But it also only has two PCI slots. I want to install a wifi adapter in this computer too, but obviously i can't kick out one of the two NIC's installed. I'd have problems..
So um, what can I do? I've seen some dual NIC's, but they are mad expensive, and way too much for me to spend.

Oh, and when I said POS, I mean Point of Sale. Not the other thing..
Only just now did I realize how it sounded.

If you don't want to get a multi-port NIC, you could get a regular single port nic. Then go USB for your wireless or use a regular access point/router for your wireless.
I played around briefly with a wireless USB Zonet ZEW2500p. It worked with the newer betas and I could connect my clients to monowall through it. However, it would stop working randomly and I didn't really spend the time to troubleshoot it. I have a wireless router I use as an access point anyways and didn't really need the wireless via monowall. It was more of something to try out for fun.
