Cheapest 2 channel firewire interface for bedroom recording?

PreSonus Inspire?

I'm looking for something for my friend who sings and plays piano and just wants to get a relatively clean recording. Right now she's just using her computer's built in mic/card and getting very noisy results without the ability to adjust the input gain. So I'm looking for a very simple firewire interface. Budget is the main consideration.

Bedroom Recording... oooof

So I don't know how familiar anyone here is with true screamo music, but let me say, the genre as a whole, lacks decent recording. Being that it's a low budget D.I.Y. scene, that's to be somewhat expected, but even the guys that are on more major "Indie" labels are having some rough recording issues, so basically what I am getting around to is this...

how can i build the best bedroom studio for $10K?

I need some advice from people who've been around.

I won't be tracking drums. Probably just vocals, guitars and percussion. I'll have to outsource the drums for anything major. everything else will be direct in.

The room is a small cube, so i'll be padding everything to get the maximum isolation and try to dispell my standing waves.

Which HDR for Client "Bedroom" collaborations

Lately clients have been asking me for recommendations as to which of the current crop of hardware hard disk recorders they should buy. Their goal is to be able to take mixes of rhythm tracks, etc. that they do in my studio back to their "bedroom" so that they can add some overdubs at their leisure, without the pressure of my clock running.
