Cheap Preamp Q

[treetops]

I am looking to buy a cheap preamp to plug my Sm57 into before I run it into my PC. From scouting round this board Ive found recomendations for Behringer mixers (UB802 etc) and the Behringer Mic100, so was gonna go for one of those (probably the MIC100). But I've just seen this, and the price is considerably less:

Anyone know if its any good? (or can tell from the specification they give)

Looks quite inexpensive and basic -- why don't you be the home recording dot com ambassador to this particular UK web merchant, order it and post your findings when you've come to a conclusion!

After the $20 headphones Harvey Gerst recommends I would be foolish to dis any piece of gear on the basis of being too cheap...
