how much money are you looking to spend? And do you want a PCI card, or firewire or usb etc? I have a presonus firebox which is pretty decent - has guitar, mic, line inputs and midi i/os. Personally i find it handy having the inputs and controls on a breakout box like that rather than on the computer itself.
