Excellent idea. I usually test upgrades on my office machine (which isn't as strong as the new one in my system but does the job well). Its also where I convert all the new DJ and karaoke songs and test other software ideas to see what works and what doesn't.
I figure the trick is best to make sure everything is virus checked and the systems are running similar hardware and operating systems. After ripping is done the new files are kept in there as a hail mary and then moved to the backup externals then the systems (virus checking at each step just to be sure).
