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.

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. ;)
