Thanks a million to the senior posters here who replied, yeap the PCI adaptors are cables, I am trying to find a picture of the interior of the 2U.  But it is something like

Power supply is normally quite high at least 750W to accomodate the Raid 5 etc.

750 sounds good but without knowing the amperage distribution not very helpful, are these still equiped with the raid drives? One card horizontal is a given, two might be possible depending on the specifics of your units.

Agreed with Deslok about the power.

If it looks like the chenobro at: http://usa.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?sku=19

Then I'd say (just from eyeballing it) you could likely get two video cards "floating" horizontally over the motherboard if you could rig up a bracket. I don't know about more, would depend on the card, and if it is in a rack or not (if you can cut a hole and vent heat out the side or not :p)
