how much money you got? you can pick up a used tdm system for about 6k plus youll need a host computer mac or pc, any speed above 266mhz is fast enough for tdm cuzz it runs on its own processor,
digi001 systems run around $800.FOR A SYSTEM ,PLUS YOU NEED A HOST, I USE A MAC G-4 THEY START AT $1600 for a 867 double processor ,as far as pc i think you can find them for around $500 on up, one thing to keep in mind about digi001 is that the speed of your computer determins how many effects plugins you can use to mix with. you get 32 tracks with digi001 tdm you can expand it to over 200 tracks if you got the cash

I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU PLAN TO SET YOUR MONITORS AT BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLACE EM NEAR THE COMPUTER MAKE SURE THEY ARE MAGNETICALLY SHIELDED. YOU MAY LOOK INTO BI AMPED MONITORS AS WELL.

Booza,
You might think about getting an extra (dedicated) hard drive for your audio. If you've got your audio files on a second drive, data transfer is much better and windows processes operating behind the scenes cause "fewer" problems. Also, if for some reason the PC craps out... the audio drive most likely won't be affected. Internal drives are cool, but I've heard that scsi or firewire drives are better. FYI, drives that spin at 7200 rpm's are better suited to handle audio data (wav/aiff etc). Most pc's ship with drives that spin at 5400.
Make sure you've got a good backup system too because PC's are prone to crash, and you don't want to be sitting there with a dead system and nothing to restore the files from... trust me on that one.
