My MBP's logic board just broke and now I'm looking at 1300 to get it replaced. on craigs list I saw a logic board for a 2.33GHz MBP for sale for 600. will this logic board work in my computer.

Stats for my MBP are below

You'd have to find a logic board from the same revision as your computer (2.2, 2.4, 2.6 I believe). Looks like you have a Santa Rosa MBP, and that 2.33 board is from a previous revision "Merom" MBP. I doubt it will fit correctly

Everything would fit and possibly connect up, but your screen is an LED backlight screen, where as the Merom MBPs have a CCFL backlight, so you can not just swap logic boards for those units.
