Build the ultimate 5-TB Home Theater gaming PC that rips or burns 6 DVDs simultaneously

My former colleague Adrian Kingsley-Hughes pondered whether it was feasible to rip (to digitally archive) his entire DVD collection in to a computer. Adrian estimates that he has at least 600 DVDs and that each would take 30 minutes to rip which works out to 12.5 days of non-stop ripping. So I popped Adrian an instant message telling him that it's actually nowhere near as bad and that it could be done 6 DVDs at a time and each batch would probably take no more than 15 minutes which works out to 25 hours of solid ripping time.
