I need to get a webcam for my sister so that she can iChat with me and my family that recently moved out of state. She has a PowerBook G4, while the rest of us have MacBooks or iMacs with a built in camera. I know an iSight would obviously work, but don't want to spend a lot of money on it. So basically I am looking for a cheap iSight with the mount for a PowerBook or another compatible webcam that would work with iChat. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that the XBox 360 webcam will work with iChat in Tiger. An update to iChat allowed it to recognize USB webcams and many have reported the 360 one works great. It is $40 and its look seems to go well with Apple computers. just a suggestion.

I can confirm that the 360 Webcam works, quite well.

Plus, it's $30 (+ s/h) at Newegg

I think that's what I'll do then. Thanks for the info!
