I am currently running Windows 2003 Server SP1 with a website on a Dell Optiplex SX270 and would like to move it to a Poweredge 2650 already running Windows 2003 Server SP1. How can I make this move? Thanks.

i bet you already know how to move the website files. but tell us more? you might need to adjust the port forward in your router to point to the new webserver. or just use the same ip address as the old box and um, bob's your uncle (apologies to mycroft)
if this is not what you seek, tell us more. do you need to install web server software?
how exactly is your web server box attached to the internet (is it on a lan. or did you bravely hook it up directly to the 'net?)

Also, the two machines are in the same domain. Therefore the website is being run over a LAN. I would like to move the website without having to use the same IP address, because the Poweredge is currently being utilized as a file server.

do you have a web proxy in place?
can you get in the router and see what forwards are in there?

I agree with the first advise.
Set up the 2nd box as a web server.
Move the site files across.
Configure your router to forward requests to the new server.
