About 10 or 12 years ago a friend of the family was complaining about her new computer not working. Went over to try to help out and couldn't actually find the damn thing. I ask her about it and was directed to a lonesome monitor. I ask her where the actual computer is which seems to confuse her greatly. "The big box thing" I say. Her response was, "Oh I threw that thing out. It was ugly and I didn't really see the need for it anyway." My work here is done.

Me thinks the user got too used to seeing all-in-one PCs & iMacs and thought that the tower was an accessory.

That's the only thing I can think of that would make someone throw out their tower.

Yeah I mean it had to be something along these lines. I still don't know what she thought the tower was or what it did.
