A tower is the "cpu" part of the whole computer system that a user would have setup. Ie there's the monitor (sits on your desk), the speakers, mouse/keyboard, and the "tower" that sits under the desk(usually). It's the part of the computer system that all the cables connect into. It contains the computer case, power supply, motherboard, central processor, hard drives, video cards, etc. That's the tower. Some computers today are built without towers and everything is integrated into one device similar to a laptop but larger and not as mobile.
