Huh. Drill a hole, and mount it. Run the wires where you need/want them.

You need a receiver to attach between the antenna and PC. Obviously, you'll need a receiver that has a connector for an external antenna. OEM-style receivers are your best bet.
Will it work better than a common 'puck' style receiver (like the BU-353)? Not much better.
It will, however, cost more.

Where can we find this receiver? does anyone have any examples of setups using this external antenna? what USB GPS receivers have a connector for an external antenna?
