I think it's a really good deal.  The Audiomedia cards alone go for about that on eBay, and they're pretty rare these days (they were the last nubus cards, the next gen Macs had PCI).

Also, the Mac (at 80 MHz I think?) is definitely fast enough to do that work.  I've used Sound Designer on an old 16 MHz Mac, and it was "adequate".

I started to do the editing on my Mac Pro, then transfer the sound via floppy, until the new Mac OS stopped write support on discs older than OSX;  My machine had no Ethernet.

If yours has Ethernet, you could try networking, if it doesn't, there were companies that made AppleTalk to Ethernet adaptors.  I haven't tested networking a machine with a classic OS to a OSX machine or a PC, though.  There could be compatibility issues.

Also, there might be other options on the PC side, but I'm not a PC user and don't know.

Good luck.  That setup was my first "professional" setup (at least, the first one I could do 4 whole tracks of digital audio on), and I remember it fondly.
