If it's super, super cheap, and all you can get, then sure. But they are quite poor in terms of converters/sound quality, when compared to any budget interface from the last few years.
The supreme irony is that thousands of Pro Tools users were sold on these as they were the "official" interface in that given price range. Their crappiness became apparent when users upgraded to the MBox3 and suddenly noticed the blanket lifted from their mixes. It's actually quite shocking to hear an A/B shootout between the two boxes. We're not talking a subtle difference here.
I honestly wouldn't take an MBox2 if it was offered for free. Just about any $99 interface nowadays runs rings around it soundwise.
