1RU PCI loose contacts - low profile network cards?

Just wondering

We just yanked a 1RU machine from a server room.

We worked out (after 3 hours) that the network card contact was loose.

The network card was connected to a PCI riser (so it could go in 
sideways - its 1RU).

We believe it is the PCI riser. It is an intermittent fault.

Its annoying, has anyone else had this trouble before?

Is it possible to get ultra-low profile 1RU network cards that fit into 
1RU boxes
without the need for a riser card? (i.e. connects straight to the pci bus?)

Any help/advice appreciated

frustratedly,

jon
