I'm after an audio interface for my PC preferably with;
2 inputs, one for mic, one for guitar.
Midi would be nice.
Budget around the £100 mark.
So do you have any advice or recommendations?

Thank you all for your input it has given me food for thought. PolarityMan has got me thinking, rather than get an interface just for my desktop it would be more flexible it get an interface that I can use with my laptop as well.
This changes midi from being optional to essential.
As much as I'd love to push the budget, her indoors certainly wouldn't want me too
The Tascam us-122 looks like it fits the bill, does it have phantom power for condenser mics?
I'm currently using NI guitar rig 5 and sonar x1 would the us-122 be a winning combination?

Thank you all for your input.
I've now pulled the trigger on a Steinberg UR22.
I'll let you know how I get on with it when it arrives.
Indeed I have!
My first impressions are mostly good. Hooking it up to my laptop was problem free, simply install the drivers and away you go.
My desktop PC was a different story, it took a long time to get it up and running. It was very glitchy and plenty of drop outs with my DAW. That was until I figured out that I had it plugged in to one of my PC's USB 3 sockets. After plugging it in to a USB 2 socket all the problems were solved. I thought USB 3 was backward compatible, maybe not!
The only real issue I've come up against is with high impedance input, if you have a high output guitar it can overload the input even with the gain completely backed off. Its alright with a stock les paul std, but you might get some clipping if you are using hotter pups.
I've not tried it for MIDI yet, that's the next step.

Yes, input 2 with Hi-Z engaged.
With my Les Paul plugged in I have the gain set somewhere between 0-2, depending on what I'm playing.
