Moving my entire Stand-alone MOSS\WSS 2007 Server

Good day MOSS Gurus

I currently have a Sharepoint\Project 2007 Server loaded and configured on a
Dell 2850 that is stand-alone, that is starting to worry me with what lloks
like an approaching hardwarefailure. I want to "Migrate" this system to a new
server. I have loaded the software and I really just want to move\restore my
databases and restore my configs. My SQL databases and all applications areon
the same server. I have researched this and it seems a bit cumbersome has
anyone done this or know a good step by step that can spoon feed me?

Easiest approach:

1) Central Admin of the old server, do a full farm backup.
2) Making sure you have the same version of everything installed on the target
server, do a full farm restore through Central Admin.
