Can I bring a full sized tower PC onto an airplane as a carry-on without packing it?

I can't speak for TSA, but generally, I don't see why not.
Over the years I have flown with laptops (more than one at the same time), all kinds of components and even an IKVM without any problem.
A tower is not that different from a laptop. Just be sure there aren't any sharp parts that might be seen as dangerous. Also, be sure the tower is within the allowed size by the airline for carry-on luggage.
Having this said, you should have a plan B in case you're refused in security. At the limit, the decision is from the person doing security. I've seen things (not necessarily IT related) refused that were allowed to other persons. This makes me believe there is some kind of randomness in the process.
Tip: I would try to wrap the tower in some bubble plastic. It will work as protection and as a cushion to some trepidation in the airplane. Also create some kind of handle. It's not very confortable to transport a box like that.
