Your computer, if it can record in 24bits. 16 bits is probably good enough though since I take it you are not working with a high-range condenser mic.
I was using a microphone, a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter and audacity to record myself. I had about 3 bucks in the adapter.
I have yet to find a freeware solution to hearing yourself in real time through a computer. There was always a 1/5th of a second delay. I don't imagine commercial software has fixed the problem. We used to have an iMac that would, at times, monitor in real time, but it was not consistent enough to be considered a solution either.
USB devices may be better at it than going through the soundcard. I haven't ever used a USB mic or DI for that purpose, so maybe they are better.

I've always wondered about that and I was thinking of buying one sometime. Any suggestions? I sing mostly alternative-rock and ballads.
