Why build when you can buy?  There are literally hundreds of this type of
unit kicking around out there, you just have to look for them.  Look in
the back of Circuit Cellar Ink, Radio Electronics, PC magazine, Byte, etc.
and you will find lots of small companies making a/d peripherals for PC's
using both serial and parallel port connections.  Looking in an old CCI
magazine, I found 5 different companies selling such boards for under 
150.00, with up to 16 channels of 12 bit a/d.  Leave the hard stuff for
somebody else, and spend more time doing your own thing rather than 
re-inventing the wheel!
