um...I have a "crazy antenna" on my wifi card. It's made of aluminum foil. Also, it's against fcc regulations to do what you propose. Unless you feel like paying large fees.

Edit: On further research, I'm only partly right:
That said, my uncle ugraded his home wireless network and gave me his nice Linksys extended range antenna for my router (WRT54GL w/DD-WRT), so that's all I'm using. Nothing too crazy, and it gets me 4/5 bars of signal at the complete opposite end of the house from where the router is, so that's all I need.
Crazy Antenna Upgrades Anyone?
