1. Hardware should meet some prerequisites. Formally the hardware should comply with Hardware Compatibility List.

2. If your server comply with prerequisites, the the only component you would by is upgrade license.

  The problem with re-installing 2008 on different hardware is that it will almost certainly fail to activate automatically. 

  You will probably be able to use telephone activation if you explain what you have done (if it is a retail version of 2008, not an OEM version that was pre-installed on the hardware).
