Should I replace the logic board???

I have loved my 12inch PowerBook G4 - but it's 5 years old now and the both the logic board and the DVD drive need replacing. I am willing to spend the money to fix it - but I don't know if this is the beginning of the end.... I love macs, but can't afford a new one right now..... does anyone have any thoughts as to whether I should hold out and save for a new one or just fix the logic board and hope something else major doesn't go soon. Thanks!

Check eBay for parts. Sometimes you find what your looking for. Also try to google the part number of the logic board. It works wonders on older parts.
