now i see..... cool guys, thanks!
one more thing about the monitor. Vogler told me about the Alesis M1 520, and before that i was actually looking into wharfedale diamond studio pro 8. Both of them seems to be very promising, but the problem is, Alesis is using USB, any "side effect" for that?

The biggest issue I can see with that is that you are:
a) using up another usb port on your pc that may be better suited doing something else, or needed later for midi, mouses, harddrives, etc.
b) You are taking more juice out of your computer to power the monitors, which is typically a bad thing depending on your daw and the amount of tracks and plug ins, etc.

Though I did not actually research your interface, I would assume that it has balanced line outs in either xlr or trs form on the back which would make it easy to hook up something without usb. I don't know if the usb monitors are cheaper, but alesis makes the m1active 520's in non usb (what I have).
However, you may have your reasons for the usb. Also I am sure others will have bigger more scientific drawbacks to usb, this is just the practical ones I can see.
Luck,
James
