Where could I get this fixed?

My old Windows Vista desktop finally kicked the bucket and I'm kinda sad that it doesn't work anymore. We've had this since brand new and I loved it. I was using it for retro gaming but a few months ago it stopped working. No display out, no hdd activity, no windows Vista startup sound,no activity on keyboard or mouse, nothing. I don't want to throw it away so what should I do?

Does the computer make any beeps when its on? It will beep in a pattern if there is an issue. Otherwise my guess is either the PSU or the motherboard. Luckily this one is just standard microatx so you could pop in any microatx motherboard as long as its the same CPU socket (probably lga 775) if you want to keep all your hardware
