I wanted to see what I could do for under $100 once, so I bought a 
Behringer Xenyx 502, a UCA-222, and an XM8500. It all works, isn't too 
noisy, surprisingly, and, obviously, is incredibly non-flexible. I think 
it's cute that you can't disable phantom power on the 502. No using 
ribbon mics for you. No matter that even the cheapest ribbon mic out 
there costs about 8 times more than the board.
Not exact figures, just throwing things around.
