What are you using to rip your cds to a hard drive?

I had been using the cd drive in my old laptop to rip cds to my external hard drive.  I have since bought a new laptop that does not have a cd drive.  To get a cd into the computer I am using a cheap external disc reader.  What are you guys using to spin those silver discs into hard drives?  I think I need something better than what I have, but I don't think I want to spend thousands of dollars to buy a disc drive.  My budget would be less than $1,000,

What do you think?

Your "cheap external disc reader" is most likely more than sufficient, unless either -
A) the disc reader malfunctions every now and then OR 
B) you got infected by the upgrade bug and you really want to get rid of that $1,000 :)

I would second Exact Audio Copy (free) or any other bit perfect ripper, suggested by others, to have the best digital files though.
