The K1's Exterior
The outer shell of the K1 has a nice satin black finish. Since so many monitors are colored the same way, it provides a nice visual consistency to the look of the finished build.
The front has everything you'd need for quick access. There's the power button, four USB ports, headphone and microphone jacks, and optical drive slot. There's also a Smart Card slot should you have the need. The power button lights up blue when turned on and there's an amber hard drive LED. The internal speakers are located on each side of the USB ports.
For air flow, the K1 is vented at both sides (appropriately much more on the processor side) as well as underneath. The bottom also has plastic feet. There's two sets of feet on the bottom. An inner rubber set to prevent sliding and scratching and an outer plastic set for stabilization.
The rear panel has space for the mini-ITX I/O panel as well as knock outs for 2 serial ports, a single parallel port, and external Wi-Fi antennas. There's also a Kensington lock on each side for added security.
The adjustable monitor mount extends from the top rear of the case to support a 19" to 27" VESA monitor. It's also worth noting that the K1 can support dual 19" to 27" monitors with some optional hardware.
