Think I did this a while back with yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" (there's a few different ones if gnome isn't your bag). You may need to do "X Window System" as well, but don't think I it sorted that out for me.

You might want to take a look at the "group" commands of yum (or generally at some yum documentation):

After thought... there are a couple of other options for X Windows yum groupinstall "X Window System" yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

As it was a server install I figures you only need the first one above. As you probably want to do 'remote' X Don't forget to change initab to runlevel 5
