I have a storage server currently running windows 2003 server edition

ATI Rage XL PCI Graphics Card
and an Intel Motherboard
Would it be possible to hackintosh this machine? and if yes which distro/installation method is required?

It is possible to hackintosh that machine, I would reccommed an older version of OS X though, maybe JaS 10.4.11 or even a distribution of 10.5 depending on your RAM.
The ATi Rage card has no chance of QE/CI Acceleration or full resolution.
Missing graphic accerlation should not matter for running a (file-)server, but you need to gather much more information about your hardware. For example if your P4 has no SSE3 support better forget about Snow Leopard, also check for your network devices to work, etc.
