One can probably consider the DEC PDP-8 transistorized minicomputer introduced in 1965 to be a desktop computer. The first PDP-8 model was about the size of a modern compact refrigerator, but later models were significantly smaller (especially when simple monolithic integrated circuits were used instead of discrete transistors).
