you'll want to look at the Shure SM-58. the 57s and 58s are pretty much THE industry standard workhorse and somewhere around $100 if i remember right. the 58 comes with a pop filter. it's like $5 more if you want a model with an on/off switch.

here's the kicker though... a XLR (typical mic cable end) to USB adapter runs about $80. you'd likely be better off getting an actual USB sound recording interface like the m-audio fast track for just a little more.
