Thanks for your response.
But I don't think "low profile" is enough -
the MicroServer needs half-height low profile,
and I don't think from the pictures the ones you pointed to are half-height.
(The backplate looks too high.)

For some reason the dual port NICs seem incredibly expensive -
more expensive than the computer, in fact.
