Depends on how many tracks you need to record at once.

The Presonus Firepod will do 8 tracks, and comes with Cubase LE for $600
 
You don't need a soundcard with the firepod.

It will accept up to 8 mics. Again, it depends on how many you need to record at once
 
Then have a look at some of the cheaper Firewire interfaces from M-Audio.

You'll also need a preamp or small mixer like the Yamaha MG10/2, some recording s/w and a mic of course
