If I buy 2 of these cards and a crossover cable, could I transfer data between 2 desktops?

I have a lian li dk02 and I want my pcs to be more in sync with each other

will the transfer speeds be any good? both pcs have ssds in raid

Yes, but there isn't really a reason to get a crossover cable for it as it supports auto-midx, which means it can sense if it needs to swap outputs and such, so can use it in that situation.

(Basically it uses the normal ethernet cable like a crossover cable by changing what pins are for what, but can also still be used as any other ethernet card would.)

so I could use a standard ethernet cable and it will all work fine?

Why not use a regular cable and go to run type back slash, black slash the name of the pc and do transfers that way?

Yep.
