Yup. Did a test about six months ago[1] with a company called NDR[2][3].
The procedure they use (for NT4 Server[4]) is this:
Basic install of OS
Restore data partitions, make sure they're OK
Restore system/boot partition
*DO NOT REBOOT*
Edit necessary registry keys to match their hardware[5]
Reboot
Server comes up, no nasty BSODs, all working
This was from one model of Compaq to another. They tell me they can do the
same if the customer's hardware is of a different brand, with little more
difficulty.
[1] Oooh!! Time for the next one :)
[2] http://www.ndr.co.uk/
[3] A name which always makes me laugh...
[4] Slightly different for Win2K, but they say it works...
[5] They've had a lot of practice, and have this nicely worked out

Exchange server 5.5: disaster recovery
Has anyone recover MS Exchange server at a disaster recovery site. We are
in the process of implementing a disaster recovery procedure and would
like to know whether we can recover to a different Compaq hardware.
Rather than reinstalling the OS, we would like to restore everything from
the backup tape. Our exchange server is currently installed on a Compaq
Presario 1600. Our recovery site has Compaq DL 380.
Thanks
