I have two computers a dell inspiron 9100 and a satellite toshiba. I have an at2020 microphone and a tube ultragain mic200 preamp. I also have a u-control uca202 audio interface. With all of the items I have mentioned how do I connect my microphone to my computer? I think I have the necessary cords. Here is what I have: female xlr to male xlr(to connect from mic to preamp),female xlr to 3.5mm stereo plug(connect from preamp to computer) but that doesnt work. Any help on a certain cord or other equipment I need that is necessary to connect my mic to my computer would be greatly appreciated. Here is pictures of my mic,preamp,audio interface, and computer. Thanks!

Balanced audio cables utilize impedance balanced lines that reduce EM and RF noise and extend the effective range of the cable run. Additionally, unlike standard unbalanced RCA interconnects that utilize their braid as a signal return, balanced cables have a separate braided shield to provide additional resistance to interference without modulating the interference into the signal...

Why would I use a professional audio adapter interface (like Beachtek) instead of just a plug?
Why would I use a professional, powered adapter interface that is atleast $200 (like Beachtek DXA2S) instead of a simple $20 1/8" male plug to XLR female plug? The setup is for a Sony prosumer camcorder that is picking up one entry level professional shotgun mic (~$400).
The cable tail method will work, but be careful with the jack going into the camcorder. It is possible that the weight of the cable or accidental tugging can cause the plug to break off in the camcorder.
Beyond that, the are some additional advantages that an external small field mixer - or XLR adapter - can provide.
1) Since you did not tell us which Sony camcorder you are using, this may not apply. In many cases, the Sony camcorder's manual audio control is used through the LCD panel. My HDR-HC1 is like that. This makes it a bit of a challenge to easily adjust the input volume. With an XLR adapter, the volume controls are easy to access knobs.
2) The 1/8" stereo jack on the camcorder when used with a mono-mic, if the wire tail is not made correctly, will cause the audio captured to record to only one channel - not both left and right. The XLR adapter typically has a mono-stereo switch so if you plug a mic into one channel, when in mono mode, audio will be fed to both left and right channels.
3) If the 1/8" wire tail adapter is made with two XLR connectors (Right and Left), your camcorder's manual audio control cannot adjust the two channels independently. If you use two mics for different audio sources, and those audio source levels need to be independently adjusted, that won't happen. The XLR adapter - in stereo mode - would independently control the two different channel audio levels as separate channels. My Sony HDR-FX1 has a single audio control knob on the body of the camcorder that is easy to get to - but the one thumb wheel controls both left and right audio channels at the same time.
4) The audio pre-amps in camcorders are not exactly the best and largest available. Having the audio preamp as an external, standalone, dedicated device, manufactured for its specific purpose, can result in improved audio. May I suggest that you check out the audio samples at juicedLink.
5) Some XLR adapters can provide phantom power (though not the DXA-2S - the DXA6-s and juicedLink CX-231 can). Higher-end mics need power (whether self contained using a battery or phantom power). Using phantom power rather than mic-supplied power reduces the number of types and batteries required to operate - along with the flexibility of the XLR adapter. The same could be said about the wire/tail connection and a single battery for the mic - but the features of the XLR adapter are not available.
