Bare Min Specs Pc For recording 12 tracks at once

I want to build a rack mount PC to bring to gigs with me to record about 12 to 16 tracks at once, then I will take it home and do all the mixing at my how DAW, So the portable one just needs to be able to record and not use plugins or anything like that. What is a good system with the minimum specs to acompolish this, part #'s would be great,
thanks

2 track

I want to record my mix on the computer, my current rig is easy to use, but I feel that the ADDA is the weak link (currently using a Flyng Cow into a DIO2496 SPDIF card and recording the mix in Soundforge 5.0.

Choices I'm pondering are Lucid AD and DA9624 units ($1400 at mercenary) plus a FATSO JR ($2450) for tape emulation. Total this package is $3850.

2 Tracks for recording drums

Well I'm a little short on cash (read: short about $3000) so I only have an sb live (left and right channels on line in), a small 4 channel mixer, and a mic preamp-amp, a radio shack 3 mic passive mixer and 7 mics to use with this setup. I'm doing some cheap home recordings so I can remember this stuff when I can get a digi001 or C-port and an 8 bus mixer... you know the spiel.
