Hang on, you've said that your antennas cost $40 each, this brings your total to $80. This, with the added wireless cards (costing $100?) would bring the price up to at least $280.
And as these antennas are directional, you lose one of the main advantages of radio and 802.11 - being omni-directional. Surely therefore, even though 802.11 has greater range directionally, over a shorter distance, this LED implementation might be more cost effective?
