Id assume a bot-net would go for large offices/companies, where people would be unaware of the extra pc usage.
Large offices/companies wont have very powerful GPU's if any at all.
It would be easier to organise a CPU botnet than a GPU botnet, because i can farm large amount of CPU power from "large" companies, but with GPU i would have to gather from individuals, which would be harder.

Large offices/companies are probably running a bunch of shitty old Celerons, I don't think it's much of a threat. And any company that happens to have rackfulls of 14 core Xeons is likely to have a sysadmin that just might notice the sudden massive load increase or their atomic weapons simulation or HFT algos grinding suddenly to a halt and various red strobing lights and ear splitting sirens going off.
Botnets are more myth than reality in cryptocurrencies.
Allow me to disagree
We are on i5 for around 3000 machines
