ordenador de sobremesa

Explanation:
en español no se distinguiría, ya que un ordenador de sobremesa puede ser perfectamente de torre

--------------------------------------------------

la diferencia es dónde los coloques; por ello, tal vez lo que llaman deskside (al lado de la mesa) coincida más frecuentemente con un ordenador de torre.
"sinencambio", seguramente no se puede asociar un término a otro, ya que un ordenador "no de torre" también puede ser "desktop" (literalmente, "encima de la mesa"). (Me paice)

Lo de CPU se me ha escapado... Son las siglas para el procesador en inglés y yo le llamo así, por extensión, a la torre. No sé si será completamente correcto.
