Conclusion
The K1 is a great solution to PC builders who want to create a PC that looks and feels like an All In One. It alleviates the concerns enthusiasts have with All In Ones. There's greater accessibility to typical front panel components like USB ports and the optical drive. It provides flexibility to choose a monitor or use one you already have. Individual components can be replaced to make servicing easy. I still can't help but feel that the goal should have been loftier. Why just fix the problems with All In Ones when you could have improved them as well? I was left a little wanting.
What if I wanted the look and feel of an All In One, but wanted the capabilities of a gaming PC? There's no room for added graphics. What if I wanted to protect my data with a RAID configuration? There's no space for an additional hard drives. I think that most people that build their own PCs want to do more. Using the K1 doesn't leave much room for the things that makes building a PC worthwhile. Not that the K1 is bad by any means, I just think that it's limited to a very specific audience.
