I've got a Technics SL-1200, I love it.
Just don't get a Crosley, if you can afford better.

You can switch, Treacle. I don't have one of those USB-players myself, but I have a M-audio preamp that actually enhances the sound quality for my gear. Everytime I have my pc on the preamp kicks in, and there is a difference.

Here's a vinyl joke for ya.
How many Bieber fans does it take to play a record on a turntable?
Answer: Three. One to put the record on and two to turn the table round. HaHaHa! Just made that one up, and I'm not even on drugs!

I have a Technics SL1900, not the Cadillac but not bad at all. I think it's form 1978.
I'd get a classic for a really good price, try craiglist for your local area, so you don't have to worry about shipping, and get a great cartridge.
My friend uses a regular TT for everyday listening. He also has an Ion TT. We have hooked up the USB to a computer for ripping purposes. We've only ripped titles that aren't available on CD. It is a little more cumbersome than ripping CDs but it's fun to do now and then...Quote

I've never taken the plunge. I guess I have all the CD's already, and can't even imagine recording all the LPs to my turntable. That's 9 months of my life I need.
Beyond recording, is it that you're using your PC as your stereo? If so that makes sense but unless you're endowed with a fantastic sound card and speakers, you're missing the benefit of the vinyl.

Regardless of what type of turntable you decide on be sure to invest in a high quality cartridge as well. The cartridge is an important a component as your table is for good sound. I use a
