Recommendations for a Microphone?

theHedoren,
I've been podcasting for a few years now. I have professional equipment, studio quality microphones, a mixer, all that jazz. And the best Podcast microphone i have is my $20.00 logitech headset. I prefer the 3.55m connectors to USB, but that is more a personal preference. If your just talking, it's perfectly fine. Especially if you are using Audacity, and can remove background noise (if any).
Just my 2 influence 
As if I didn't have enough hobbies already, I've been wanting to start making "radio skits" for quite a while. I'm a passable writer, so I have scripts covered. I also have bits of score composed already. I even have confidence in myself as an amateur voice-actor.
The problem is that I still haven't invested in a proper microphone. I've had an old headset for years, but it's ratty and worn out. It was never good for anything more than average VoIP quality, anyway.
So for all the voice-actors and podcasters out there: is there a particular microphone you use that you would recommend for some beginner's voiceover?
If it matters, I have access to both Windows 7 and Vista, and I just started using Audacity for my music. I'm tentatively looking at a Logitech mic, but I have no idea what works for my needs.
Suggestions?
