effin expensive, and quit a lot would be the answer!  I think aerials start
at about £80 and go up from there.  You can build your own though for under
£10 which are just as effective, if not better.  The expensive bit is the
pigtail which connects the aerial to the card.  The bods at
http://consume.net have built a number of
designs.  Try asking on the
mailing list there.
