Im using a SaS Raid card rather than a HBA. But as long as its half height (or it hits the RAM) and half length (or it hits the CPU Heatsink) it should fit ok.
I have an LSI 9280 8e (Raid Card) that i tested and works fine and a LSI 9200 8e (this ones an actual HBA) also works fine. Its doesnt need to be Dell specific parts just check the size against those two cards. Nothing bigger will fit. Thats basically it.
I had a couple of HP P400's but they never worked in any machine. Clearance issues with the Internal cable and a heatsink. But they mostly fit minus the backup battery.
