Pro Tools Software – Digital Music Software

what's the difference between using the digidesign minibox and plugging the guitar straight in the comp?
i'm new to recording and i'm thinking about digidesign Strike buying the digidesign minibox w/ pro tools and all that stuff, i want to know what the difference is between running my guitars etc. through the minibox as opposed to just buying pro tools and plugging my guitar etc. straight into the back of computer? i hope this makes sense, thanks
