On a whim I bought a half-price webcam from DSE last week, one of their
house brand ones. It was just $20.

It turns out that it is a PIXART PAC7311 and the latest gspca drivers
support it.

It doesn't work with the latest Skype beta, and the output is crummy but
if you want a very very cheap cam that works with motion etc, it could
be worth it to you.
