Alright, the site's back up for now. I actually didn't replace any hardware, all I did was keep the webserver shut off for a few days, and then forgot about it for a few more. I turned it back on, and boom, we're back in business.

However, the site might be a bit slower than usual, although I'm not sure. The machine is still on its last legs, but because it's such a pain to relocate everything to completely new hardware, I haven't started that daunting task.

I did make sure to take some extra backups, but this failure made me realize that I need to be able to move this to new hardware. In fact, I think I'm going to see if I can migrate the whole thing to a VM so that it's completely hardware-independant.

Of course, that will have to wait until after we win some more medals, because the Olympics are going to be all of my spare time in the next couple of weeks...
