For desktops, I'm more concerned about physical size. On my desk at work, I have a Mac Mini. It's about 8 inches square, by an inch and a half high. It sits in a corner of my desk and doesn't take up much room. The guy that sits next to me has a Dell running Linux. It's about 8 inches wide, 15 inches deep, and 24 inches high. In terms of CPU, memory, disk, video, networking, etc, they have virtually identical specs. I've never compared the power consumption, but I assume his eats many time the electricity mine does (not to mention makes more noise).
