    Looking for a webcam to use for Skype and Windows Live
    I'll be using it primarily with my Dell XPS M1210 which has Vista. It doesn't need to be amazing since I'm really just going to be using it for chat. What can I get for under $40? anything decent or am I going to have to spend more moneY?
    Oh, and i don't think this laptop has a built-in mic, so I'll probably need one of those too

    Thanks in advance..

    $40 should be plenty for a decent webcam. The Microsoft VX-1000 and Logitech QuickCam are usually priced under $40. Shop around for the best price.

    Incidentally, CircuitCity has a few Logitech webcams on sale with rebates.
