djasmooth, interesting vid. i'm not quite understanding what u mean by "multitrack to do ur CDs". are u simply looking to record the output from ur mixer? if so, u can get by on a fairly modest setup. a cheap (£100-150) audio interface will give u good enough results and u'll get a lot of mileage out of it for the price. i haven't used the interfaces u've mentioned but I have used m-audio products many moons ago and tbh for the price i couldn't really complain. in the bargain-basement category u pretty much get what u pay for, but this will be a step up from the trashy consumer gear (ac97 etc.). i'm afraid i've never used a mac so have absolutely no idea what quality the stock soundcard is.
ur PC/Mac specs don't need to be shit-hot but u will need a stable system (i.e. reliable) to get any serious productivity.
software-wise, it really depends on how much u wish to edit the mixes after they've been recorded. if it's simply housework like trimming the starts and ends and burning to a CD then u can get along with pretty much any recording software (I believe some are even free). the quality really shouldn't differ between softwar such as wavelab, soundforge, etc. but what u're paying for is features/functionality.
hope that helps
