I've had great luck with my 'old' Røde NT-1, 
which was $199 way back in the 90's.  (I mostly 
use it as a hi-hat mic now.)  The new NT-1a is 
even better, for the same price.

For a little more, the Shure KSM32 is a fabulous male vocal mic.

Do you have a preamp and an interface into your 
computer?  If not, the new generation of USB mics 
might be worth a look.
