I'm looking to record my band and use about 4 to 6 input channels. I need a firewire device and I have a medium-range powerbook 15". (It would be nice if this device worked with windows too since I have an HP laptop)

What do you guys recommend?

Presonus Firebox works well with both operating systems. It has two XLR inputs and six 1/4" inputs. The Firepod has more inputs, but costs a bit more.

Try checking out m-audio equipment too. Used or musiciansfriend is fairly cheap.
