What I did was:
Mic ($ depends on model, I reccomend SM57) + Behringer UB502 mixer (cost $40 if I remember correctly) + 1/4 female to 1/8 male adapter (like $10 for a Planet Waves one) + red & white RCA cables (male on both ends, usually comes with a DVD player, etc.) + 2 x RCA female to 1/4 male adapter (like $5 at Radio Shack or whatever it's called now).
Plug the mic into the mixer, red and white RCA's to mixer's tape out, RCA's to 2 x RCA female to 1/4 male adapter, 1/4 male end to 1/4 female to 1/8 male adapater, that adapater into Line In on PC.
I just mic the 4x12 and record with Audacity or Cubase. I've used it with a few different mics, Peavey PVM22, Shure SM57 and Shure SM58, works great and quality is pretty decent considering the little cash I had to throw at the setup. Then for drums I use FL Studio 5 using Toontrack's EZDrummer with the Drumkit from Hell, sounds awesome.
I'll post some quick samples if you're interested.. all I have on this PC are ones recorded with the PVM 22 though. If everyone clears out of the house today I'll post some with the SM58 since that's the one I've got hooked up right now.
