Do you not have a smartphone? Skype can be installed on them too. If you have a bluetooth headset you could consider buying a bluetooth dongle so you could use it with the rig. I doubt you want a uber sized headset with mic if you are using the cam lol
I have a headset, the mic is quite bad. No smart phone ;(
No bluetooth headset.
Was thinking about

WHat webcam do you have? Does it not have a mic? Maybe it might be wise to invest the money in a HD webcam with a mic?

Under £30? Perfect.
I was recommended one of these on OCUK and other boards.

You can pick them up from other sites for £30 and some ones on ebay for £15.
Though the ebay mics are refurbished.
