Try the Logitech Quickcam. Pretty common, and most models are supported. I'd find a supplier, then google the model you are thinking of getting to confirm Linux support. I recently bought a Quickcam Communicate, and it seems to work well, although the price/quality ratio is average. It was $80 from officeworks.
