i need a budget microphone i can connect to my pc for 30$ or less. any recommendations?

zalman zm-01 is probably your best bet for a cheap mic, most other mics like the antlion modmic are just out of your price range and even though the zm-01 is quite cheap and a bit fragile (I'd recommend buying 2 in case one breaks since they're like 10$ anyway) the quality is quite good.
