Beeps are usually RAM related. Most of the time if the board or processor have failed the board wont even beep. Power supplies can be expensive if you buy them from the store. Places like CompUSA had them for reasonable prices but I think they are completely out of business now?
Hard drives are not significant hardware changes, so if you get it in your next computer you can use it as a backup or something. Otherwise you can get the data from the drive like Justin said, provided the HD has not failed (doesnt sound like it though)
