Thanks for the responses, guys. I am hoping to get something for Librivox recordings and Italian recordings. The Samson gets good reviews, but I've read that some people have had problems getting the microphone to work properly in their OSs. It's good to see that some people on [H]ardforum approve of it.
Also, legoman666,
Where did you get your desk? I love it.

I do, it's shockingly good for its price point! I've used it to record podcast-type audio or for my Skype conferences so far - wanted a nice "booming radio voice" for my conference calls, lol. Didn't try music on it yet... If you pick one up, get the kit, for $20 more its far cheaper then buying the pieces individually.
