I would recommend the 896, first version. You should be able to get one for $450-600 on ebay. The first version has some limitations, you can't use it as a stand-alone mixer as you can the HD version, but it's not exactly an in-demand feature. With the 896 though, you could do monitor outputs via software through the main or any of the 8 channel outputs.
Does your mixer have direct outputs/line outputs for each channel or does it have multiple bus outputs? If so, you might consider the 828 or 828 MKII. The 828 can be had as low as $200 on ebay, but you need to have your own preamps as it has mostly 1/4" line inputs.
