[Ti] Ti 667MHz DVI needs CPR!

[alcovia at aol.com]

 Hi,
 
My Ti 667MHz, 1GB RAM, Combo Drive DVI is seriously on the skids. 
I replaced the optical drive last year. 
The FW port died 1.5 yrs ago, bought a PCMICA FW Card and used the card slot as my FW port.
 
The top RAM slot clips broke, so the memory no longer stays in the slot. Starting up is a hit or miss and I always have to hit the option key and type in my password to get it started. 
 
Then once started One or all these things will happen. 
1-will freeze 
2-go to sleep and not wake up
3-shut off automatically
4-Ding 3x
 
Thus far I figure I will have to:
1-replace motherboard (can do myself)
2-replace ram slots? (my tech friend can do)
 
Sell the parts on e-bay and save for a 12" 1.5, superdrive, 80GBHD?
The airport works, 
The RAM is good
 
I would really like to salvage it if possible. I'd rather put in the labor and save the $$. 
I know it is not long for this world, but I can't afford to totally replace it. So... 
any creative/constructive suggestions? 
 
Thanks
Alcovia
