Easiest way without removing anything is to buy a cheap portable USB hard drive and just transfer the files over. You can then transfer them from the portable HD to the new computer, plus you'll instantly have a back-up copy of all the files.

DO NOT OPEN your new PC!! You will VOID any warranty it has if you do so and lose the right to most repairs and support!
I know people are trying to help you by giving advice that they see as useful, but I am affraid it only helps if you're not interested in having support after you do something without proper knowledge.
If you have Windows XP or greater, just click
a) Start -> Run
b) Type "migwiz" (without the quotes).
That command will start the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" from Windows, and it's the "hassle-free" method of transferring your data, mainly because it's native of Microsoft.
You mentioned you have a server, so I'm guessing your WORK files are stored there (in the server itself), so no need for you to back them up.
In doubt, contact the System Administrator of your company/office to clear any doubts as to where are your work files stored.
Cheers!

If you are in an office you are probabaly using outlook. If you are you will need to back up your .pst file and possibly any templates that you have created in word, excel etc. The most important thing is to take note of all your current settings so that you can set it up again on the new machine. If you are in an office why don't you backup/store all the data from the old machine on a file server/backup server and then retrieve it on the other side.

If you have a network server you can just copy them through the networking. Use your new pc to open the folders of the old one through the network neighbourhood. Just right click on what you want copied, click COPY. then go to where you want to save the file on your new pc and right click, click PASTE.
If you cant do this copy the files to cd or to a flash disk or flash drive

create a back file of your data. go to start menu, accessories, system tools, back up. follow the instruction.(im using win2000, other OS varies). then once youve created a back-up file. copy the created back-up file to your new HD, well you can do that easily since youre on a network. then start restoring your file on your new HD.
if you have below 256MB of files, you can also try using Flash drive/Disk. Btw, more than 1G of Flash drive/disk is also available. this is the best accessory to transfer your files on a single click.
FYI, case you dont know, Flash drives/disk is a removable drive connected to your USB.

Use a USB hard drive,simply plug into your old system and drag files to it,then do the same on the new one but drag the files from the usb hard drive to the folders you want to save them in,on the new computer....
Does depend on how much space is required for the transfer, if its only documents then I would suggest a flash drive and it will be a lot cheaper

I suggest No.
You can use a soft ware to clean and delete the files.
If you want to keep it, copy it into a CD or another hard disk.

Put your old hard disk in new computer as slave. The partitions on this old hard disk will be alloted free drive letters when system boots from new hard disk. You can copy your stuff easily within the new and old hard disk easily. Once done you can remove the hard disk and avoid clutter.

I got a data transfer wire when I got my new one before. This time my motherboard gave up the ghost and I got it done at a local computer shop.
