A 2U case will support 2/3 PCI cards on risers. A 3U or larger case will support the cards standing normally off the mobo. 3U is a bastard size, so good luck finding one. Remember, for every universal measurement unit (U), you are looking at 1.75". A 4U case will take up coming up on half of your entire rack (7 inches). Something to think about, especially since it would be exceedingly difficult (but doable if you're really creative and don't mind massive case modding) to cram a computer AND a WC system in a 4U case together. It is easier to do it with two 2U cases, since you don't have the computer components interfering with your WC equipment. If you can find a 3U case, and you externally mount your WC equipment in a separate 2U case, it would total 8.75 inches in hieght, and it would be much easier to maintain.
