Other than the motherboard there is nothing in there other than a SATA hard
drive and a generic looking fan.
The hard drive and fan could be replaced, but it wouldn't seem worth
replacing the MB if it failed in several years time even if they were
available.

If you want to stock up with spare parts I have a used 16 channel Vmaxflex
with a 1TB hard drive that could be yours for the princely sum of $100 plus
shipping.
