HI hope that you are having a great day ;-D
I recently purchased an Intel sc5300 chassis with dual Intel's 3.6 Ghz Xeons and 8 ghz ddr2 400 memory (Server) with Win server 2003 installed the motherboard se7520bd2v for what I considered to be a very good price. I am start going commence studying Server architecture and server administration between other related classes this year at the University. As it may become obvious by my question I am not a computer literate person yet.
When I went to install Win server 2008 on this machine is asking for a graphic card and I am having a lot of trouble finding one
. I need a video card that will allow me to add multiple monitors and can manage at least 23" 1900x 1200 res. monitor possibly 2 if possible that will enable me to edit video and images was planing to use this machine for that purpose and install Win 7 ultimate to utilized as media server as well If Possible.
As a mentioned before my board is se7520bd2 Intel Server board the expansion buses it have are
2 pci x 100mhz
1pcie x4
1pcix 133mhz
1 pci x 32bits
I will include this information hopefully, relevant. I have installed 6 73 Gigabytes 15k SCUSI u320 on raid 5 with a Perl 5 256mb's card planning to add 4 more disk 300 Gigabytes on the same array. already ordered I also have dual 730 redundant PSU'S
I am not a gamer so gaming performance in terms of FPS or any other factor on games are not that important for me. All the rest I really need like, editing video, audio and images with Above master collection CS4 , also being capable of using Win server 2008 win server 2003 and Win 7 ultimate.
I do apologized for the length of the question but trying to give as much input on my needs, equipment and the fact that is not an option to exchange boards right now due to the extras as SCUSI drives, controllers and board compatibility with the chassis between others facts. Another Box is not either.
I cannot consider another board in the short term not even in this year due to Financial constraints.
I will really appreciate every bodies input I hope you are kind enough to guide in the right direction as far as to what options I may have. In terms of raiser cards, PCI adapters, or available cards that will do the job. Perhaps if you know any person, Forum thread, category or even other forum that may assist me with this I will be extremely and forever graceful.
In advance Thanksfully;

. I just feel I got a good deal. I am working hard to Educated and become proficient in Technology and I Will. I think that when I saw what was included. I did not stop to study the facts of graphics card necessity and have to admit other factors as well as size and power consumption, but perhaps due to the potential for the system of scalability I will be able to overcome this pitfalls. I am hopeful I can use for all the tasks mentioned before. 
and my wife main business that is marketing related, for this task it is important to able to run Adobe Master Collection CS4 and all its components without problems. being able to run as best as possible Win 7 ultimate, Win Server 2008 and Win Server 2003 the latter is already running in the system. For my university study and work related needs.
