USB Microphone

So, I've decided to start doing various video projects with my desktop. Some will require voice-over. My pipes aren't what they were 30 years ago, but I work cheap.
This is the Mic I've decided I should buy.
The Blue Yeti

Anyone have comments good, bad or indifferent? Other suggestions I may want ot consider?
Thanks..

Blue yeti is certainly a popular one the way they package it. I went with a Rode USB mic because I have a Rode tube mic that is very good and I like the warmer sound it creates vs other USB options. In general I don't like USB mic performance but for the price they're not bad.

Did you go with the Rode NT or Podcaster? The company I have a account with has the NT for 170.00 which is in the same price range as the Yeti, but doesn't look like it comes with the extras.

I have the NT, but I got it bundled with a stand and a few extras. I already had the stuff the kit comes with. Check out B&H Photo for a better price.
This is my main Mic paired with a Focusrite Analog to Digital processor.

I just spotted this, I would consider this instead of the USB NT...

It's ok for more hobby stuff or an extreme budget Audio Techinca USB are a better choice.
