How to connect preamp to mixer?

I have a Mackie 8-24 mixer and am wondering how to connect an external preamp (when I get some). I looked at the wiring diagram for the board and it appears that I should use the "channel insert" to feed the signal to the board. This way I would be entering the board's input chain AFTER the Mackie's internal preamp.

Quality Mixer?

I currently record on a Boss BR-864 and I don't like the limited amount of inputs. I want to move onto computer based recording and I have an idea on what I need to buy. I have a PC and I want to use that. I am thinking about buying an M-Audio firewire interface with the RCA and S/PDIF inputs and a mixer. I want a mixer with enough mic inputs to record drums that is under $300 dollars.
