I want to get a few usb webcams that record in at least 720p at 30fps, have good quality, and are reasonably cheap.

Goal is to get 4, and have them up in each corner of a music jam room, and then record all 4 for a split screen jam video.

Since the entire video would be 1080p, I don't really need each cam to be that rez. I figured anything that was could quality would be at least 720p though.

i guess the idea of cheap is relative.
i would just keep an eye on ebay for a logitech or microsoft.

Hope you have a good PC, as encoding/writing four 720P data streams at the same time is going to be pretty intensive. I actually think you would be better off with four compact camera's that shoot HD (Canon ELPH or the like). Although the cost would be higher, unless you know of some you can borrow. But then they save their video to an SD card, which can be loaded up later.

720p looks terribly and 1080p is perfect...That is why I love Logitech C910! :)
