Pretty nice. Not even too outrageously expensive. But the thing is, I 
run Linux. And it looks like Digidesign doesn't support Linux. Maybe 
Linux has a driver for the Mbox, but then I'm still paying for all the 
Digidesign software that comes with the Mbox that I won't use.

I think I'll go with the M-Audio or another USB sound device.

Right now I'm using Audacity (http://audacity.sf.net). I like its 
multitrack editing, but it has been very unstable for me, it crashes a 
lot, the amplify tool clips the sound all the time, floating point sound 
gets clipped and sounds weird, the compress tool doesn't seem to work at 
all, and so on. (I've tried everything, at least 6 or 7 different 
versions, RPMs, compiled from CVS, etc.) So I'd really like a better 
tool. Is there any better sound editor out there (for Linux)?

Thanks for the info.
