OK, so it's little, and it's a PC. Some of them aren't even too bad looking, which is a nice change. My quesiton is, how loud are they? Can I have something like this in the Living room without wanting to turn it off when watching TV?

They're not amazingly cheap, but they are small. If size matters (and face it, when does it not?), then something like this may be an option.
