From the looks of things, you should have open PCI Express slots..

I would recommend something like one of these Intel PCI Express Gigabit Server NIC cards
http://www.intel.com/network/connect...PCI%20Express*

Code:
Intel® PRO/1000 PT                Gigabit Ethernet        PCI Express*        Copper        Single port
Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port        Gigabit Ethernet        PCI Express*        Copper        Dual port       
Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port        Gigabit Ethernet        PCI Express*        Copper        Quad port

Absolutley you should be able to add additional NIC cards.. more than one or a Multiport card if you so desire.
