My wife and I used to be in the same room when we were in an appartment and
she didn't like how the LEGO searching noise interfered with her TV
watching. Now that we are in a house, we are a few rooms away, so we visit
each other every 1/2 hour or so.
The computer is in my LEGO room so I can surf and build at the same time!
It's also good for streaming MP3's off the net while building.
