I am a singer/songwriter looking to record my next album. It will only consist of vocals and acoustic guitar. I currently have this setup:
iMac G5
M-Audio MobilePre preamp

I have some elcheapo mics right now, and I want to get something better. I'm looking to spend about 100 bucks. Any suggestions?

Get a Shure KSM27. Its clarity is pretty much unmatched for a condenser mic of that value (~$300) and its worth the extra money for the quality it presents. For only about $150 though, you can get a good AKM which will work just fine though. The different types of mics really depend on what you plan to record. A shure SM57 or SM58 is not what you want to go with to record vocals. A condenser mic of lesser value will serve you better, although I have used a Shure SM58 Beta to record drums and it worked quite well.
