Not really the term "computer" applies to everything needed for a working system. The tower houses the Central Processing Unit (CPU), Motherboard, Memory (RAM), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and Disk Storage. It forms the heart of a computer (and could serve as a "server") but would be useless to a user without a Display, Keyboard, Mouse etc.

Many modern computers do not have a "tower" at all, everything is built into the back of the Display screen, such as a "Tablet" or "All In One".
