For something small, think of an Intel NANO. Possibly to small, but powerful. It is not a tower, but another little box, like an external DVD writer.
Some of my elderly (yes, there are folks older than even me <grin>) locally have been buying all-in-one's and loving it. No 'cup holder' out front for cd/dvd, but often have them built in (side mounted). Locally Walmart is their level of tech. I know Dell makes them (with or without touch screen), all have keyboards and mouse. Let us know what you decide.
