Was just brainstorming... Maybe as I posted subsequently, you could just bond the two units togetger with additional hardware.... Thermal issues could be dealt with by creating an efficient thermal interface bewtween the units and adding a fan to the P3 to take the heat out.... the P3 mass could actually sink MORE heat than just the flat panel.... I don't mind actually engineering a dedicated solution... I'm not contemplating a 19" rack right now, but its not out of the question in the future...

Not likely since the right panel of the K3/K3S and the left panel of the P3 are both mounted with 3D connectors and screws passing from the outside of the panel. In addition, the K3/K3S has regulators which use the right panel as a heat sink and capturing that inside the P3 would impact the cooling ability. 73, ...
