MIDI adaptor if you have one.
or if you have one of those X-FI babies, they will do too.

Also has a USB version -> http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/MXL-MXL-990-USB-Powered-Condenser-Microphone?sku=271009
but its 2x the price lol.

you will also need to make sure you have enough power for the mic.

To record with that mic you'd need an audio interface/sound card with at least 1 XLR input. You should also be aware that cheap sound cards might not sound as good as more expensive ones due to the quality of the analogue to digital converter inside them, so be careful you don't end up with something that doesn't sound very good.
