Getting back to the portable recording studio gear, you need to keep it simple and clean, you need a good audio interface (with Windows 7 driver support), a decent mic, a pop filter, headphone and some cables. There are plenty of options to choose from, but I'm just going to recommend the best item priced under $250.
