Hey guys, after a long duel with my modmic I finally decided to get a proper desk mic. I didn't want to spend a fortune, but I also wanted good audio quality for the price. Anyways, here is what I came up with:

 

Samson C01U (Amazing budget mic, can be found on amazon for $65) http://www.amazon.com/Samson-C01UCW-Studio-Cakewalk-Sonar/dp/B000PTF0E2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425360278&sr=8-1&keywords=samson+c01u

Newer Boom Arm (Very cheap and can hold the samson mic with no issues!) $20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DW3ZT76/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lastly, a simple windscreen does the job of a popfilter without being so annoying ($3) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002GXF8Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A USB extension cable is also very handy :)

 

 

Here is how it looks like all put together:

If you want to go even cheaper, the CAD U37 is a good option. Hope you all enjoy!

would've helped if you bought a shockmount along with it. You know, for those rage moments where you beat the table
