I am not sure how I would go about doing this for the best sound quality without pro equipment etc. Used to have a minidisc recorder which was pretty damn efficient with a boundary mic, but how would I transfer to the pc? Or is there some kind of mp3 device that can perform this function?
As per previous suggestions, if you are recording near the PC. Except, I'd recommend a headset, even if the mike is not that good. A free-standing mike will be likely to pick up the PC noise.
If you want to have something portable (not a laptop, either), then you'll need to investigate line in/line out connections (or maybe DIN connections). I used to use a really ancient cassette recorder, with straight jack to jack connections to the PC sound card.
In particular, the last time I was doing this, I was transferring sheet music, by hand, to PC with Noteworthy, then recording that to cassette for a choir. I actually disconnected the cassette's microphone, because it interfered with what I was doing.
Getting it all to work... guesswork on my part. HTH.
