My friend came across a multi-line intercom box with the microphone (Hamilton Air Model 3001-6 Multi-Lane Intercom, to be exact), and I was thinking about using it as my computer's new microphone. Any thoughts on how I could accomplish this?
If it has an electret insert you should be able to. If not install one.
Plenty of data on google re computer mics.

in 2016, no sane person should be using an analog mic on a computer. the static can drive people nuts. get a $5 used Band Camp or Guitar Hero USB mic and stick the element at the end of that stick thing.

Yes, use a digital mic that captures digital sound waves.

obviously. That doesn't change the fact that the difference between USB interface or a 1/8" jack isn't what differentiates a shitty mic from a good one.

you're forgetting about the 5-foot run of usually poor cable between an (unbalanced) analog mic and the computer. one great advantage of USB mics is that this is reduced to inches, which makes the signal way cleaner.
