Help Me Start A Small Studio, pleeaase Options

[drummer1]

Hey everyone, I'm looking to set up a studio with my Tibook. I just want to be able to record my band and for when i just want to hear myself play. I'm thinking ill have about 10 XLR inputs at one time ( 7 drum mics, 2 guitars, 1 bass, wed record the vocals speratly). I want to be able to mix this stuff down on my computer with some type of a protools program. Would i be able to make it so each drum mic would have an individual track? Or is that not necessary? Any suggestions? Ive been reading and looking around, and am starting to understand, but not really.
Heres a basic layout of what i want:
Drum kit/guitars/bass---->Pre amp----->Computer---->Protools for mixing
is this possible? Please give me some sugestions because im so confused. And as for money, I want it to sound GOOD and CLEAN and CLEAR. But i dont want to buy a professional studio and spend thousands. Thank you so very much

Don't know too much about audio inputs, but having lots of experience with video I can assure you that you're internal drive will always be faster than a FireWire drive unless there's something extremely wrong with it. FireWire's fast, and I think you get FireWire 2 on that Ti, but it won't be fast enough with that many tracks, especially if they're at 96/24.
