Do your grandparents need an optical drive? Or is it mostly for web browsing and email?
My recommendation sans optical drive would be an AMD E-350/E-450 based board with a small SSD in an Antec ISK 110 VESA. Mount that thing on the back of the monitor (it comes with the hardware) and aesthetics no longer matter.
