With the move to Texas and the birth of our son, my wife and I want to purchase some Web cams as Xmas gifts for our parents so that we can chat with them and they can see their new grandson from time to time. Does anyone have a reasonably priced web cam recommendation? We are also wanting to purchase microphones for chatting as well so if there is an integrated system out there that would be great.

My guess would be to go logitech. I saw a few cheap logitech cams at Best Buy, with decent resolution (640x480 i think).

The price isn't that low unfortunately, but it has a bunch of neat features including a built in mic.
I used to have just a straight forward webcam (also a logitech one) which I picked up for next to nothing and gave that to my parents before I got my new one. I don't think they sell that particular one, but on the logitech site, the cheapest cam comes with a mic as well.

Yea, Skanker I'm in Texas now. Once my life calms down a bit and I get more settled I'd like to have a Polycount meet up with the rest of the Dallas area crew
