There can be differences in the main power connectors to the board - e.g not the standard 24 and 4 or 20 and 4, the voltages produced are the same but the amps can be higher. Also the server may have more peripheral connectors in order to power multiple hard drives etc. My fujitsu is a low profile rack mounted server and it's PSUs are hot swap-able and don't cross over to other desktop machines. They just slot in and out without having to disconnect any cables. It's 6 SCSI hot swap hard drives are all powered from two peripheral power connectors connected to a common board. But the a tower case IBM server that I have has 6 peripheral connectors and non standard main power connectors. So there are minor and major differences depending on the server. So you need to look very carefully at the specs and what you want it to do.

What is better to play minecraft lap top or desktop?

My friend brought his laptop to a sleepover and it seemed to work fine on Minecraft. Then, when I went over to another friends, I tried playing Minecraft on his Laptop and it was very laggy. It depends on the specs of the laptop. The absolute best option is the desktop. However, if you a traveller and prefer laptops, then I suggest getting a gaming laptop. Desktops are naturally more powerful than laptops, as they have an unlimited surge of power (assuming you have electricity!) from your power supply, and to top it off, cooling systems are much better in the desktop, meaning a lot less cut offs (possibly none!).
