Hire 15 other homeless musicians?any cheap 16 simultaneous recording?
A Presonus FireStudio and a Digimax would do the trick. Here's an example diagram...

Just for the two Presonus pieces of gear you'll be spending about $1100.00
The two best deals on hardware for me are the Allen & Heath "Ice16" or "Ice16D" starting around $699 on ebay they give you 16 in 16 out true flex and will run well with most all the popular DAW's. If you don't have a mixer or mic pre's yet, the Presonas Studio Live 16 has amazing power and flex and all in the digital domain.
After teaching Recording Science at Austin Community College for 18 years and owning two different professional studios with thousands and thousands of dollars of gear it never ceases to amaze me how much you can do in the digital world with a few thousand dollars.
