Where is it cracked? Some can be fixed; some need a replacement case. 

It's also important to understand WHY it cracked. The only one I've 
seen cracked because one of the 6 main studs that hold the thing 
together came loose (nut came off) and that let the case warp and 
crack. I was able to fix the crack, but the warping was terminal.
