Gotta backup, rip, encode mp3, tag ~ 1,000 cds

Good suggestions all. Thank you all. secretanchitman--see comments below about duplicating to another hard drive. Good point about just going ahead and buying another DVD burner, rather than cd burner, while I am at it. Is there any place you buy your taiyo yudens? I haven't looked to see...

Gotta backup, rip, encode mp3, tag ~ 1,000 cds

Been a VERY long time for me. :o Using W2K Pro. Plan on encoding to hard drive all my cds to 320CBR (mp3 v1 tag) AND backing them up to cd-r (clone) AND maybe library them. Be nice if I could do this sort of all in one fell swoop, or as close as possible. Can dedicate one box to it...

MDE, It certainly looks like you've found us an excellent value of mobo/cpu/RAM. Looks like I'll have plenty to play with for overclocking, also. I don't know much about all the terms, as I've been locked into Slot One Intel Tualatins for......um.....since they came out I guess. But, my...

I've been using this monitor for about 8 hours, ran 3DMark on it, etc. No problems at all ('cept it is a heavy sucker). The brightness, contrast, etc. adjustments are easier than any monitor that I've had (once you figger out that the thumbwheel is the increase/decrease adjustment). --Randy
