I recently purchased this microphone and while it's not perfect I'm happy with it. It's a good line-in mic, but there are a couple of things to be aware of before buying. I haven't had any problems with the build quality, but the stand is very light and the arm that holds the mic up looks like it could break quite easily. As long as you be careful with it it shouldn't be a big deal though.
One problem I had (using Windows 7) was that the quality was very poor when I first started using it. I highly recommend going into the Sound control panel and shutting off Echo Cancellation in Microphone Effects as that severely limits the sound range. Just shutting that off made a huge difference in quality. Hopefully that helps you if you're having that problem.
Other than that I'm very satisfied with the microphone. Sound quality is very good for the price and there's no setup at all: just plug it into a line-in jack on your computer and you should be up and running.
What's great about it: Great sound quality for the price
