Whatsa good microphone?

I like to record stuff onto my computer from time to time. Goldwave is a great program for recording stuff, but I've been using a cheap $5 mic so everything sounds like crap. Does anyone have any suggestions for a quality microphone that isn't too terribly expinsive?

Shure SM57, it's around 100$.

I think $100 is quite a bit for a mic that your going to use once and awile! I dont know, Maybe its not, Maybe im poor, lol. Id go over to this site....

for vocals, SM58 are the reference, everyone and their grandma uses them. Just know that your sound will be as good as your crapiest piece of gear it goes through. If you play on a beaten up Yamaha acoustic with dead strings (out of tune, of course) with a quarter as a pick, through the SM58, and into the Windows recorder, you'll end up sounding like...Hmmmm, Nirvana...*cough*
