I also have a M-Audio Firewire Solo. I don't know how much experience you've had with yours, but if you haven't updated the firmware on it then I would strongly advise against doing it. If you have, then you already understand the pain.
Thank you for the helpful tip! I haven't updated the firmware and didn't intend to since the card works OK for me (other than having no software mixer in Linux). Now I now for sure that I shouldn't.
For monitors I have a pair of M-Audio BX5a's. When I'm recording and need some isolation I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones and for double checking mixes I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 595 (open air) headphones. Of course this all costs more than $100, but I'd consider it all "budget" class and it doesn't suck.
Thanks! BX5a is one of the options I'm considering currently based on the recommendations I've got so far.
