Bluetooth isn't usually there on desktop machines or notebook computers; however you can buy a USB bluetooth adapter (for example: these)
They're fairly inexpensive as well. If you are looking for a bluetooth mouse/keyboard in the near future, I'd suggest buying something like the Microsoft BT mouse/keyboard, it comes with the BT USB adapter.

so there aren't any computers that come with blue tooth capability built in or added on to the side? thought dells would come with bluetooth. oh well not too expensive for the adapter. What exactly though is so appealing about blue tooth? my parents really want it on their next dell computer. so if i buy a bluetooth mouse/keyboard i can take the mouse keyboard anywhere within range and type and scroll around? then again there is only so far i can move away from my screen before i can't see anything thanks statica for the help.
