We had ours from Argos - including a camera - and think it was certainly under £20.

I currently use external speakers on my desk top PC, rather than those built in to my monitor. This saves me having to power on the monitor in order to hear what Jaws is saying. Can I also get an external microphone to plug in somewhere? If so, what should I be asking for, and any guesses how much I'll need to pay? Thanks for any and all suggestions. Ken
