Hello! I am looking to buy a new computer and want to rip my blurays at a fast speed. Any recommendations for great setup? Is there a good reasonable system for sale at Costco or another retailer, or am i better off building. I'm not looking for gaming, just want to rip fast!

Tough to say without knowing your budget Andy, but mucho cores, and a high-end nVidia card are critical.
I much prefer a custom build...put in exactly what you want and nothing that you don't want, in particular, all that dang bloatware.
Besides, it's fun
I finished a core i7 build last Oct '09 to coincide with the release of Win7.
Nothing fancy, mind you, but I'm very happy with it.
