I has two DSL providers and Windows SBS 2003. Is it possible to have the systems on the network failover to a backup router if the internet on the first router is down? Both routers are on the same network (router #1=192.168.1.1 and backup router #2=192.168.1.2). The server has two NICs.
I know there are routers out there with 2 WANs, but they seem to cost around $900.

One solution would be to purchase a router that has multi WAN ports with built-in fail over. This would replace your existing two units...
