The M-A 2496 is an old favourite and I can vouch for its solidity. I would eschew the usb part of the mixer and fit a decent soundcard in the PC. The Behringer is not a bad mixer and even the usb conversion is fair to middling but it IS 16bits only and many of these usb mixers (not just Bellringers!) have noisy monitor returns. The situation is compounded by Win7 in that you need to delve deeply into the soundcard settings to get it to run stereo at 44.1kHz 16bits with a usb audio device such as the Berry.
