They have everything you need to set up a recording rig. A FirePod is going for slightly more than $600. It has 8 mic pres!! Firewire connection.

the reviews are pretty good on that and at $600 it sure looks worthwhile. however, dont really like the additional power source but guess it cant be powered by firewire with so many inputs.
im also looking at the M-Audio 410, anyone has any opinions on them and how does it compare to the Firepod/Firebox?
thanks.

As long as you can create good music and feel good about it 
When you plug in like that, there is no analogue to digital conversion (unless ur guitar is first routed to a digital effects box, in which case it is already an ADC) so you will not get optimal results suitable for digital mixing. Not optimal. But alright.
When people look to better audio interfaces, things of concern would be real-time recording of many simaltaneous tracks (latency), balanced inputs and outputs, real-time effects, hardware noise and interference etc.

try apoggee stuffs, for eg. ensemble or yea the duet.
the pre's aint that good but still usable.
had great conversion however pricey.
a cheaper alternative would be those from RME,
after which look towards focusrite saffire.
if its still too expensive for you
go the Maudio 410 route :]
