So I recently purchased a PreSonus Firebox with the Cubase LE 4 that comes with it.
But when I go into the device setup in Cubase, it asks for an output...
I thought the output was the firewire connection from the computer to the audio interface...
Whenever I try to record, no sound comes through...
Is there something I'm missing here?

You might need a new firewire card that is compatible with the F
You might need a new firewire card that is compatible with the FB. I'm not sure on this, as I'm not a computer guy. I know how to run them, I don't know how to build them.
We suggested an external hard drive because that's how all computer recording should be done. It's just better.
Without an interface or hard drive your computer does everything, and quality is severely handicapped. With a good audio interface it takes the weight off of your computer's sound card freeing up more CPU/RAM to recording and mixing. With an external HD, it takes the weight off of the internal HD, also freeing up CPU/RAM power. With both, you can record at higher sample rates and with higher quality and fewer dropouts and more headroom. At least that's my understanding of it.
It's just an efficiency thing. The details aren't important, we're trying to help you get the best results possible.
