Re: Home Studio
Audio Technica and Akg make good value mikes for under $250 used, as well as smaller companies SE electronics, CAD, Studio Project, just make sure you can get a refund if it's defective/dirty.
I would start with a book like Home Recording for Dummies or H.R. books by Dave Hunter or Rod Gervais (there's a bunch, amazon can suggest more). They'll go over the whole chain of mike > preamp > A/D converter/interface > DAW and also room treatment, which is critical.
