Don't know how much it costs though, since I doubt that warranty covers it. My guess is that you were using the Windows based flashing program, so in the future remember that Asus' Windows based software is notorious for bricking motherboards, so don't use it. Use the standard floppy (or USB drive nowadays) method instead.
edit: Also, welcome to TR.
