Hackintosh Server?

I have a storage server currently running windows 2003 server edition
I believe it has a:
Pentium 4 3 Ghz Processor
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?

Thanks

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.

My Specs
System: Custom Built
Mobo: ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3
OS:Mac OS X MountainLion 10.8.2 & Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k @ 4.2GHz
Memory: 16GB DDR3 XMS3 1600MHz
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB

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.

AMD Phenom II X4 955 - ASRock AM3A770DE - 8GB DDR3-1333 - Radeon HD 5570 1GB passiv - BCM4318 802.11b/g - Snow Leopard Retail
+++
AMD Phenom X3 8450 - ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA (BIOS L2.39) - 4GB DDR2-800 - Radeon HD 4650 512MB - Snow Leopard Retail (retired) / OpenBSD
