If you want a brand new Mac your really need a newer version of Pro Tools.

If this is of any help to you, I ran Pro Tools LE 8.0.5 with an MBox 2 Pro and OSX 10.7 on a MacMini 2011 with no issues.
If you get a brand new Mac you won't be able to downgrade to OSX 10.7, and I don't think PT LE 8 will run on OSX 10.8 (but this is hearsay, not knowledge).
