Sounds like you need what is called a "NIC" or network interface card. Other names are "ethernet card" or "network adapter".
The two most common types right now are "gigabit" cards and "100 megabit" cards. The former are newer and cost more; the latter are pretty standard and very easy to find.
You can either go to a store like Best Buy or Circuit City and pick up a decent network card for $20 US or less. If you shop around, or check ebay, you can probably find one for $5. My favorite online retailer is www.newegg.com.
By the way, "PCI" is just the name of the connection between the network card and your computer.

Any decent computer store will sell you a white box PCI network card for not much money. Under £10 in the UK...

Get a NIC card from any computer store. They're all the same really, and brand names just cost more. And you don't need a 100mbps card if you don't have a router, 10mbps is fast enough.
