Look in your phone book yellow pages for a local commercial plastics
supplier.  They often have cut-offs for sale at modest prices.  If you have
to buy a whole sheet, take along a wheelbarrow full of money.

You might do well if there's a "Tap Plastics" dealer nearby. They are all
over the USA, I believe, and custom cut acrylic sheet for individuals at a
very reasonable price. 

If a K2 will operate with the sides and top off, I can't see how it'd be any
worse with clear top and sides. Just don't replace the heat sink on the
bottom of the K2 (or on top of the KPA100) with plastic! 

That said, sure it'll be somewhat more susceptible to RFI and perhaps even
produce a little RFI without the metal case, perhaps. And even if it does it
may not be significant in your situation.
