    I'd get a USB dongle instead. I doubt if there's even pci slots free in it.

    They take an Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11AC Wi-Fi + BT 4.0 LE Wireless Card. Are you sure there isn't one in it?

    If you look at the tech spec tab it has no PCI-e expansion bay and only 65 watt power supply for the 'micro' form factor, unlike the larger sff and minitower cases.

    Micro

    Dimensions (H x W x D) Inches/(cm) : 7.17 x 1.4 x 6.93 / 18.2 x 3.6 x 17.6
    Min. Weight (lbs/kg) : 2.82 / 1.28
    Number of Bays : 1 internal 2.5"
    Expansion Slots : 1 M.2 (22x30mm)
    Power Supply5 Unit :
    Standard 65W adaptor. Minimum Efficiency >87%, ENERGY STAR compliant.

    Optional wireless M.2 802.11ac card
    These seem to be rare but not hugely expensive with an intel make for about €30 from third parties.
