The Travla= =20 C137 can take a 2-slot riser, though you are limited to using a 2.5" HDD. I= =20 used one of these chassis' for my primary router, with two 3Com 3C905TX NIC= 's=20 installed. Although present and working, I don't use the onboard NIC; thoug= h=20 the problems I had may have been with the cable modem, not the NIC. Caseoutlet sells them, but you can get more info on them from Travla. (http= :// www.travla.com/Products/C137/c137.html) Keep in mind, the onboard NIC is there, so all you really need is one=20 additional PCI NIC.
