M-Audio Delta 1010. Great Linux support. 24/96KHz, 8 balanced
analog I/Os, 2 digital (S/PDIF), hardware monitoring. $600US from most
dealers - Musician's Friend, American Musical Supply, Sweetwater, etc.
I use an ST Audio DSP2000 C-Port which uses the same chipset, has the
same I/O capabilities but uses unbalanced lines. It works great (it was
also about $150US cheaper). The Hammerfall stuff is probably better but
by the time you get all the outboard gear you'll need to record with
them you'll probably have spent more than your budget.
