I am sorry to be discouraging but you asked for advice so I gave it to you. Reading and burning CDs is not a trival task. You can't do much on a computer while you are burning or ripping because the job uses most of the computer. Just adding more burners isn't going to help since that is not the bottleneck. It is the bus and/or CPU.
I suggest ripping once then burning x times. It takes 15 minutes to rip and only maybe 5 minutes to burn. Just schedule something to do while tending the computer that doesn't tax the computer.
Good media will be critical. Post a query on CD-R(W) Media and state you are going to burn x disks and want to do that quickly. What media do you suggest.
I would swap out the burner for either a lite-on or a plexor. Plexors are a bit better but cost a lot more. It should be a 32x burner. You will want a fast computer with a fast bus speed. I would query 'build your own PC' forum for recommendations. Maybe with a quad core with an ultra fast buss you might be able to run more than one burner at a time. I do not 'push' the computer while burning. I used to do other tasks while burning. This sometimes resulted in defective disks and if I was copying files at the same time, some of the files would be corupt. For half the defects I got no warning. You discover the defect when you play it. I doubt that you want to hand out disks with bad spots on them. If you verify quality that will take 15 minutes per disk. The trick is not to push anything.
I do a good deal of burning. I buy the sleeve in 2,000 per box. If you count sleeves I am at 5000-6000 disks.
