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?

one feature that is really nice (YMMV) is the dbPoweramp ability to rip the CD and do multiple things with that rip.  Example we rip and then save as FLAC, mp3 (highish bit rate), and MP3 lowish bit rate for players and phone.  so one rip and 3 different copies for different uses.  if this is important to you it may be worth consideration.  computeraudiophile has some helpful materials on this topic.  

luck.
