If you can get by with recording only two channels simultaneously the Tascam US-144MK II is very good/

If you want cheap look at the Line 6 pod studio UX stuff, if you want better quality (higher bit depth and smaple rate, better converters and mic pres) then look at presonus, focusrite and some mackie stuff. Second hand the M-Audio stuff isn't too expensive.

Re: Interface Recommendations?
I have a whole bunch of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SYBA-SD-AUD...pt=US_Sound_Card_External&hash=item5899629e3c
They work well under all OSes, no driver troubles. Audio quality seems to be good, definitely up at the level of my higher end PCI card, although I admit to not having measured deliberately because I mostly use S/PDIF in these.
They also have substantial output and can drive full size low ohm headphones at decent volume.

I'm really digging Focusrite's stuff right now, and the Scarlett 2i2 is a great interface for the money.
I have a Presonus Firestudio (8 input single rack space beast) right now, and although the pres are very good with lots of headroom, I have had far better results recording with Focusrite pres generally speaking. Plus the Focusrite hardware and software is very well designed, and the control layouts and routing are much more intuitive than anything else I've used.

My presonus Firewire interface crapped out after 13 months and the thing does not have any moving parts what so ever, HUGE disappointment. I now have a used Tascam US-144M USB interface that's had no issues for the past 15 months.
