I would spend a little more money and avoid the Behringer stuff completely. A solid built but still inexpensive unit is the Mackie 802 mixer. It has XLR outs (switchable between mic & line level), you can plug your laptop into it without needing a DI box, and still leaves plenty of inputs for other "stuff". Rolls makes a great item called a MicSwitch that works as a mute button, in essence it makes and corded mic a push-to-talk mic. You can then just get a standard desk stand, a good Shure SM58 mic, and the switch - instant bullet proof announcers mic. Avoid the Radio Shack/Guitar Center cables at all costs, at stop by a pro audio store in your local area. The quality difference is really worth the couple of extra dollars.

Do they sell wireless desk mics that might work with the existing system? Can I hook a mic right to my PC? (I seem to recall trying that once with not much luck.)
