    Cheap webcam

    I'm looking for a good and cheap webcam (under 25$ if possible) which would work correctly and out of the box if possible.
    I need it primarily for skype chat, thanks!

    P.S.
    I know there are a lot of topics about this but every day there are new cams and new experiences with them as well as drivers, so I thought it would be ok to start another thread about this.

    For anyone interested:
    I bought a "logitech communicator deluxe" webcam and it works out of the box with intrepid ibex 8.10.

    To configure the audio with SKype set
    "sound in"=usb
    "sound out" and "ringing" = "pulse"...
