Stand-alone microphone

[Comet]

Hey guys, I am in the market for a new microphone since my dog annihilated my mic for my headset

I was going to purchase a stand-alone microphone since I can't order the mic for my WOW headset unless I live in the US (it's a long story and I think Creative Sound needs to update the way they do business).

Anyway, back to the topic. I know Hamma uses a stand alone mic and it seems to work just fine. Anyone have any suggestions that isn't more than $30 but still works great? I am worried about having to lean over all the time when I speak while playing.
