I have a Gear Head WC8301. I think I paid $50 a year or so ago for
it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826623014
Worked out of the box with OSX 10.4 and 10.5 on PPC and x86 Macs and
my brother used it with his Win XP laptop (no idea). It's okay for the
purpose, better than the Microsoft VX (sorry, forgot the model) I
tried, and worked with Skype and iChat.

My wife didn't like doing video chat when I'm on business trips.
Make me an offer...
