I typically find long beeps to be indicative of a memory issue (~75% of the time), a component failure (video card, onboard video chipset, etc failure) ~15% of the time, and the remainder is a grab bag of bad power supply which killed the motherboard, capacitor failure on the motherboard, bios chip failure, cpu failure, or other motherboard component failure.
The only step you skipped that I would suggest trying: "known good" ram, and a new power supply. Do all the caps look ok (no raised tops)? I personally wouldn't replace the CPU unless you have one kicking around, or can source one locally. At that point I would suggest buying a known good motherboard/cpu combo.
