PLEASE help (:What equipment to buy with a microphone?
Most sound cards have an input, you just need to check what size the jack is on your computer. There are two common sizes - 1/8 inch "mini" jacks, and 1/4 inch "phono" jacks. There are very cheap adapters available. Vafam Sound on ebay is a great source for cables - good quality for cheap.



The adapter you will need will be an XLR-female to mini TRS with a 6' cable. If the computer does have a phono jack, then just get a mini to phono adapter (about $3).



Total cost to get it into your computer; about $15 plus shipping.



You would have enough left over to get a cheap mixer, like a little 2 channel soundcraft or something.
