In 2014, I built a light-weight PVC rack mount to stack my K3, KPA500, KAT500.

It is pictured on slides 5, 6, and 7 of this presentation:

There is enough separation between the units to allow free air flow.

The cabling is still a mess, but easier to work on versus side-by-side
as shown in slide 4.
