Give me some details on what you might consider decent, and I'll gladly post some recommendations. I've tried a lot of them.

Well for a start, an FX board is not necessary at all. Price range is not to exceed lets say... 600 US? I'm looking for raw sound quality and support for earthing cables.

Do you prefer faders, or knobs?

Knobs.

Argh!!!!! Tough choice man. Would another 50 bucks break you?

This Urei looks so awesome, I've been wanting to try it but I don't know anyone who has one yet : http://www.skratchworx.com/reviews/1601e.php

If $650 is terribly high, there's a Vestax I would like to also recommend...it's not all knobs but still awesome sound quality for the price : http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.co...ixer?sku=633207 and it's only $400

I'll increase the limit to an extra $100 and see what I can finance later

No, no...I'm pretty sure that's a mixer controller for software mixing.

That Urei is so tantalizing in the site's pics

Urei mixer seems like an intruiging piece of hardwarwe. Will put onto my wishlist. Thanks!

The site claims the original 1601 is the same thing minus the effects. Don't know if the 1601 is discontinued or not, though. Might be worth checking into.
