You may want to check out the "Home Studio" area of the forum:
http://www.voice-overs.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12

There's tons of great equipment advice there.

My personal setup has a PC (Lenovo), Mixer (Alesis), Pre-Amp (PreSonus), plus a couple of mikes (Shure, MXL, AT)...
But you certainly don't need that much if you're just starting out!

There are some great USB mikes, or even a combo of a USB interface with a standard XLR mike that would work well.

Much of what you need will depend on a combination of factors. Experience level? Goals? Even the space you're recording in (ie. how much room treatment is needed).

Browse thru the Home Studio area and have a read. You may find some better answers there.

Toshiba laptop, Tascam condenser microphone, pop filter, Sampson headphones.

When one looks at the set up and then looks at a professional studio set up, and then hears audio from both, it can be amazing.

I will probably be upgrading everything in the 1st quarter of 2013 to compare and contrast the difference, though.

Hope this helps.

I am using a Kel HM2D mic into a small Soundcraft mixer into a Zoom R16 as the analog/digital interface then into my Macbook Pro via USB. I record on Harrison Mixbus 2.2 software.
I noticed a significant improvement in sound quality by adding some absorptive material to the area I am recording in. Thick foam mattresses on the walls in front of and beside me. I hang a thick mattress pad over a mic stand behind me and I have an acoustic absorption panel directly above me. Some of these are obviously makeshift materials, but I'm using what I have laying around and it makes a big difference.
