Even if you could, it's going to still cost you about the same amount. The screen is the most expensive component, and that 275€ repair is pretty close to the cost of the screen.
I remember a thread a long time ago where somebody did actually contact the manufacturer and inquire about the cost for a screen. I don't remember the actual numbers, but I do remember that you weren't really going to save much money compared to having iRex repair it.
