Techno-Geek question

I'm a total techno-geek. I've read accounts here of the programmable remotes (which I will be buying soon). However, I'm considering upgrading my home stereo system.  I love music, and own over 600 CDs.  Does anyone know if there are any internet-enabled Multi-hundred CD Changers out there?  I've seen the kind where you can type the information in--but who wants to do that when an intelligent piece of hardware could connect to CD Database and download the information, album cover, song lyrics, etc?  Or do you think I should just go with a Media Center PC?

My friend at work just got an MSI MEGA PC ( http://www.msi.com.tw/html/active/megapc/main.html) and I'm thinking about blowing some tax refund money on one. It's a barebones PC but looks like a stereo component. You supply CPU, memory, and motherboard, but these things are under $300 so the whole thing could be $500ish.

Then, once you've got your 600 cd's in digital format you can do anything you could with a CD changer but can also play streaming radio, have extended cd and artist info from CDDB, access the music over a home network, etc., and that doesn't touch on the Tivo possiblities.
