you need some kind of preamp and interface. The preamp brings your mic signal to line level, and the interface gets it cleanly into your computer. A lot of interfaces have mic preamps built in. You can get a nice little 2-channel setup for under $100. Basically any interface with xlr jacks have mic pres.
