If the drives are OK, you should be able to drop them into a new server and it will just boot up - In my experience, Linux has never really bothered too much about what hardware it finds from one boot to the next.
The only one that has stumped me in the past is when the HD's are not recognised under the same name (sdb1 becomes sdc1 or something like that).
If you have a friendly computer shop, they might have a similar motherboard that you can test your RAM and CPU in, if they are still working fine you should easily be able to pick up a new mobo and PSU for under £250.
If your main concern is to just get it up and running again, try and get an exact replacement motherboard (if that is the faulty component).
OK, I have given up keeping this sig up to date. Lets just say I'm the guy that installs every latest version as soon as its available!
