Please elaborate. Are you sure you mean SS2K and not SS2K5?
Some idea of volumes, processing requirements, type of data storage (RAID / no RAID), etc.

Sure we do this all the time. The big limitation with blades is the expandability - particularly cpu's and PCI slots. So we don't put anything needing extreme performance (8X cpu 16 GB ...).

Can you elaborate on 'this'? I understand 'all the time'. Also, I thought that blade servers big advantage was the ability to rack mount many of them in a small space, not to expand each blade. Of course, with M$ processor-based licensing fees, it makes more sense NOT to use a blade but a multiprocessor cpu, to contain licensing costs. If using client licensing instead, I don't know why multiple blades wouldn't be equally effective as a multiprocessor implementation. Assuming a large enough DB, you would probably resort to a RAID configuration anyway, so external storage could make sense.
So, please elaborate on 'this' so we can tell you what our thoughts are and which of us have chosen blades, if any of us have (my application's scale is too small to consider blades).
