Question about AGP/PCI riser cards

Can you get riser cards in various heights? Basically in my CarPC box if I go with a 2U case, I will want to have my AGP graphics card and PCI sound card will be using riser cards and I was wondering if they come in various heights. So basically, it would look like this


|----AGP-----
||----PCI----

this is interesting. 🙂 What are you planning on doing with this car box? MP3's obviously, but video? I'm curious.
 
JCE86 - That got me going in the right direction, but I don't need two PCI, though I guess it might have to come to that if I can't find the setup I want to go with.

MichaelD - It will house a p4 1.6a, looking for a 1u slim heatsink/fanlooking for a microatx board now, a slim dvd drive, a 40 gb 5400 rpm drive, agp card, sound card, and a 1u 300w psu. Well I hope it will hold all that, I know it will be tighter than a you-know-what. I'm using a LAN probe case or something like that I got from my work over the summer. I can take a few pics if you are interested.
EDIT- I don't know for sure if all that will fit, I know it will be tight though, but I have yet to find a microatx mobo so I don't know how everything will fit with overlapping and what not.

No. The box is not even 3 inches high, about 15 inches wide, and about 8 deep (very ballpark figures there). I plan to mount it under the glove box.
