If it can supposedly be played normally on any CD player, why not just plug the CD player's line-out into the sound card's line-in and re-record it? Hell my CD player has optical thingies, so theoretically there would be no signal loss. My sound card doesn't have optical input, but there are probably cards out there that do. Yet another reason not to buy CDs anymore. I wish I could find a list of RIAA artist's addresses so I could write them and let them know I'm not purchasing their music any longer.
I would start with pricewatch. If nothing else, it can show you a general price range over dozens of stores for the stuff you want.
They list prices and shipping (usually), so most of the time you will know what the item will actually cost you. You can often times find very low prices for parts. Sometimes things like warranties and shipping are played with to make up for it, so make sure you're buying what you want.
My college has had a Game Night every Saturday night (during the regular school year, not summer sessions) for the past 5 years. A couple kids started it as "a way to keep students from going around getting drunk every weekend" and things like that. Really, we're just geeks and like to play big LAN games every once in a while.
Noone signs up, people just show up. Sometimes there are themed nights (Counter-Strike, Starcraft, FPS, genres, etc.), and sometimes people just decide what to play and do something. We go from 7pm-whenever (usually 1am), and break and order Pizza half-way through. We stuck a deal with Dominoes for a good discount, its only $5 per person, and you can eat however much you want (theres soda too). It works out really well and people seem to like it, and have a good time.
We even got our IT department to sponsor (my boss is cool) a tournament and give away brand new graphics cards to the winning team. He even made the Starcraft maps for the tourney (there was Rogue Spear, CS, and some other games involved too).
Its the largest-attended on-campus event my school has, last I checked. Granted, we have a small school, but sometimes we get over 50 people (usually its around 20).

Doh, the LSB software installation "standard" is RPMs. Oh, the humanity!
