Does anyone know what the cost for service is for a dead drive through sonicblue?

I just realized that my empeg must be out of warranty range now and I'm wondering if just contacting IBM(?) about the dead drive might be better than sending the thing all the way to england where they'll probably just do the same... because I know IBM drives have a warrenty of 2-3 years or so. Hell, I got 2-30gig drives in there anyway and I can get away with just 1 drive since all my CDs only total to about 15gb in the first place.
