You could use the Connectix QuickCam - http://www.crynwr.com/qcpc/

Yup. I helped write a linux program that I used for 5 months to take
pictures for my web page (it took a picture every time someone reloaded
the page). In fact, there will be two QCs in my dorm room next year ;)

Basically, I got a broken camcorder for $5.00 (the recording part is
broken, but the video out is fine), and I wanted to use it for video
conferencing/3rd *...

Thanks though!

Are there currently programs/drivers for any video capture cards for
Linux? I don't necessarily need motion capture -- stills will work fine.

Thanks!
