What web cam do you use if your monitor has none built in? I am planning on a MacPro purchase and just realized that the Apple monitors do not have a camera built in... now what?

Do Logitech web cams work with OS/X?

Just wondering which web cams work best.

I've been quite happy with my firewire iSight, but, sadly, Apple no longer makes them and the only way to get them is used...

Here's some options: iMage Webcam (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/imagewebcam/) and Macally iceCam (http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product_Code=MCY+ICECAM&JRSource=DealTime.datafeed.MCY+ICECAM). Hope that helped. :)

Try getting an iSight through the second hand market. It works great.

I use Logitech's QuickCam® Ultra Vision SE (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/241&cl=us,en) with my Mac Pro. Works great.

I use a logitech Quickcam Pro 5000, it is excellent. There are even better options nowadays.

Thank you all for helping. I am beginning to chill on the Mac Pro, mostly because of the cost of a new ACD monitor. And the fact that I think quad-iMacs can not be very far away. If that happens soon I will just get the iMac. And therefore not need to worry about web cam... for now.:confused::eek::apple:
