FWIW, I went ahead and ordered that Intel NIC. That should work just fine. J

Thanks. I searched on NewEgg, but couldn't find any "name brand" that I recognized in the manufacturers. I didn't think to check the chipset.

However I did find an Intel one at newegg for you.

Wondering what you guys recommend? I tried to just put an extra NIC that we have lying around in the system, but discovered that it's too tall. L Any favorite brand? Unfortunately, may favorite place (NewEgg) only carries a handful of low-profile NICs and none of them are "name brand."
