i have 2 computers in one room (htpc and desktop). my htpc is running a e8500 and its main duty is music and bluray playback. the desktop/server runs a q9500 which i would like to use to rip blurays. is there anyway i can network my bluray drive in my htpc to my desktop?
 
well you can hook them up thru an Ethernet crossover cable (both in the same workgroup) and then "share" the bluray drive
 
Why would ripping the blurays be any faster on the desktop?

If you want to re-encode, you can just rip the disc, transfer via network to the desktop, re-encode, and send it back to the HTPC.
