Hi All,
My compute needs are pretty basic so I've stayed on my mac mini for years. However I now want to rip all of my DVDs and Blu Rays to make them available on streaming devices round the house (mix of streamers and TVs) and potentially to take with me on a tablet.
When I've done a little bit of this on my old mac mini it's taken AGES (often real time!) to rip the DVD!!
So what I want to do is build a cracking little system that will rip as quickly as possible. I am told CPU is more important than ram or disc for this process but clarification would be good.
I am presuming I want a quad core i7 and at least 8GB of RAM but any recommendations (or info on your systems) would be really helpful.
As to budget - hmmm shall we say £600-£700? (about what I would spend on a new mac mini).
Thanks!
