Acronis (and others) has the ability to migrate servers from one hardware base to a new hardware, not cheap though...
As a plug to starting from a fresh install, then porting over data, this leaves you will a pristine machine, leaving any problems the old machine setup had behind, though it is much more work

Way prefered method by myself?
Buy a new Server (host if you will), load ESXi 4.1 on it and perform a Physical to Virtual conversion on the current PE800.

Should have really read "load the hypervisor of your choice and perform a Physical to Virtual conversion on the current PE800."
:)
PS: Choose your hypervisor wisely.
