You could try here: http://www.motherboard-biosflash.co.uk/
or here: http://www.eksitdata.com/_uk/index.asp (Swedish but supplies to UK).
If the chip is not physically damaged it may be possible to fix it. This link refers to Abit Bios but may help you on your way. http://pages.sbcglobal.net/jefn/bootblock.html

You didn't need to, i bet you could have just asked a friendly forum user to hot-swap/flash it for you and post it back... unless you melted it but i'm guessing a flash went wrong.

How has the BIOS actually been damaged?
If it is just a case of a bad flash, it should be able to be remedied fairly easily.

Couldn't you just have used the CrashFree BIOS2? According to the website for the an8-sli;

The CrashFree BIOS2 feature now includes the BIOS auto-recovery function in a support CD.
Users can reboot their system through the support CD when a bootable disk is not available,
and go through the simple BIOS auto-recovery process.
ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM.
