Looking for a stand alone microphone

[Xterra]

I am transitioning from a gaming headset to sennheiser headphones + external mic set up and was looking for standalone microphones to complement this change. I was looking at the Samson Go Mic that I would make a boom for. Any other suggestions or comments regarding external microphones or the construction of a mic boom? Thanks in advance guys!

I know someone using this Zalman clip on mic http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836501002 It gets the job done and its pretty small.

Cheap and good quality.

I love my Audio-Technica AT2020USB. When it records, it produces recordings that others in the room sound identical to my voice. me, being human, have no way of verifying this (a recording always sounds different from what you hear while you speak).

I have mine on a small onstage stand with a shock mount and equipped with a pop filter. I can take pictures and provide recordings, if requested.

+1 for Audio-Technica AT2020

Quite a bit more expensive than the one you posted though. Especially if you add a stand and filter.

I'd be very interested. I am just trying to find a "decent" stand alone mic for gaming with friends, skyping, and possible podcasting.
