I was thinking of buying something like this to make the antminer wireless

My question is: does anyone know any reason why this could not work? so I dont waste time and money with it.
Yep, it should work (but it doesn't make S5 truely wireless...). You will need a kind of this cable to power up this bridge:

But I don't know how to configure this bridge (you should somehow point it to correct wifi network).

Moving onto the cooling I was thinking about replacing the noisy fan with a push-pull composed of 2x noctua NF-F12 PCC industrial 3000 rpm PWM fans:

Nice thing if you have enough money. ) There are another fans available for purchasing which are cheaper.

And to finish I have narrowed my PSU choices to this, but it would be great if somebody could tell me fromhis/her experience which one works
I chose my PSU Chieftec APS-850CB (

) because it has 4 separate 6+2 pin PCI-E cables to power ip my S5. Just to be on the safe side. But you can choose both CS750M or RM750 though. Personally I would like RM750. )
