Hello All,
The new MOTU 1296 is very cool... 12 channels of 24 bit 96k
sampling rate, firewire... Priced between the 808 and 2496, (somewhere
around $1000, I think) what more could you ask for?

Mark of the Unicorn has a variety of interfaces:

MidiMan/M-Audio has a line of good quality but inexpensive interfaces:

If you want to boost your DSP power, there are cards from tc
electronic and Universal Audio:

You may also consider looking at a Firewire interface rather than a
PCI card. Both Metric Halo and MOTU have them:
