I want to start this off by saying that I realize this idea is highly impractical. Many AIOs use non-standard motherboard form factors, many have few to no standard sata connectors, awkwardly placed ports, and good luck finding them with standard power connectors. But every now and then you see ones like these:
And it just makes you wonder about if it might just be worth it. That being said, I don't think I've seen any like this that have Kabylake support (pretty sure those two are socket 1155). I do remember seeing one that was close to mini-itx size but L-shaped from Acer that I don't know for certain it wasn't socket 1151 but I couldn't find it again. So, let the discussion begin!
EDIT: To be clear, this is a hypothetical question of if one managed to find a recent generation AIO motherboard with a side mounted pcie 16x slot for a reasonable price, would it be possible or even feasible to convert it to a SFF desktop.
