MacMini Microphone for iChat?

[Dezlboy]

I'm looking for a microphone to use for iChat (simple conversations, not music). My understanding is that it should be an USB mic. Any suggestions. I am interested in it looking good too. (i know.....)

EDIT - just for audio, and infrequently. (ie..with Mom sharing her screen to fix stuff).

Many webcams have microphones built in. If quality is not a huge concern, consider getting one of these webcams.

I think bluetooth should also work. I got Logitech Cordless Vantage Headset and it's perfect with my PS3. I'm not sure how well it'll work in Mini. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/playstation_3/devices/3675&cl=US,EN

Alphaod and all..

Thanks for your responses. (Forum members are really helpful!). I'm going with Alphoad's logitech mic (the fountain pen in a holder look!). http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/microphones/devices/221&cl=us,en

Now to order the MacMini, cables, etc....

Thanks for the tip. I'm ordering DVI cables and a Firewire400/800 cable. Almost forgot about my external Time Machine Drive....
