8+ input audio interface without preamps - ideas?

    I've recently rediscovered the joys of plugging my external synths and FX into cubase via steinbergs external FX and external instruments functionality, but I am rather limited by my audio cars 8 out 2 in capability.
    does anyone have any reccomendations for a 8+ input audio card that has few or none preamps? - I rarely use microphones, and if I did I'd rather use the preamps that are on my desk, so I'd rather not pay for unwanted features on the card.
    Also, digital inputs are pretty useless to me - unless spmeone suggests, for example, an adat card with an external adat input module - none of my synths and FX except for the virus have any kind of digital outputs.
    what i really want is a firewire interface that looks like a 19" rack box with 16+ real, jack inputs on it that I can plug my gear into and 10+ real. jack outputs that can go to my mixer/FX units etc.
    I also don't want to spend a huge ammount, as this should be pretty simple without the fancy preamps etc. I don't care about DSP mixing, or DSP effects or level meters..
    and it's got to play nice with the virus!
    any suggestions would be welcomed
    cheers

    Hi, I use a Edirol UA-1000 card 10 in x 10 out +spdif i would look at this (discontinued) 1U rack module, or MOTU kit... all good!...Edirol (Roland) audio interfaces hard to get hold of 2nd hand, as so good, but they do pop up on bay of E occasionally 8) but there are loads of other cheaper alternatives... just google "10X10 audio interfaces" USB2 or firewire... not much between them...
