Here it is, the HP Z1 workstation. Collapsed down, the Z1 folds flat for easy-to-access component repairs.

Under the hood the Z1 houses:

• Dual-core Intel® Core™ i3-2120 Processor
• 27" 2560x1440 pixel, diagonal LED-backlit IPS display
• Four memory slots for up to 32 GB DDR3 RAM
• SATA 7200 RPM, 500 GB Hard Drive
• An internal USB port

We mistook this big ol' green button in the center for the power button.

• We were wrong.

This button actually activates the "raising" procedure, that is, if you don't want to use the Z1 as a non-touchscreen, 40 lb tablet.

Although the Z1 bears a strong resemblance to a certain group of molluscs, it is considerably easier to open. We have yet to determine which tastes better.

Designed like a briefcase, all you have to do to open this device is release the thumb tabs.

Right under the hood of the Z1 is a handy diagram of all the components that are easy to replace.

Rather than a "diagram" we like to think of it more as a treasure map, leading us to user-serviceable booty.

All the major components on the Z1 have awesome release tabs -- no screwdriver required!

The hard drive bracket, capable of holding either a single 3.5" HDD or two 2.5" drives, bears a striking resemblance to a picnic basket.

Simple pins hold the 3.5" HDD in the bracket, eliminating the need for any kind of screwdriver.

We are big fans of this computer. Or, we are at least fans of the fans inside.

The Delta Electronics KUC1012D 12V fan inside this enclosure appears to have a unique form factor, which means that acquiring replacement parts may be difficult.

Disconnecting the optical drive is only a matter of pulling out the SATA cable.

With one of iFixit's optical bay hard drive enclosures, it might be possible to put yet another hard drive inside the Z1.

• This, of course, would mean a loss of Blu-ray capabilities, but with one of iFixit's hard drives installed, you can fit up to 50 HD movies inside the computer!

Green means go as the optical drive bracket speeds out of the Z1.
