Developer's Edition (DE) SBITX V1 - Bake oven?

The new SBITX V2 is the successor to the previous prototype version SBITX V1, which was only available in limited quantities as a development prototype marked "DE" (Developer's Edition). 

It featured a larger, compact case, a flat-mounted transceiver board, and a heatsink on the outside back.
 
And why do some like to call the SBITX V1_DE as a microwave oven or ham radio version of the bake oven? Judge for yourself... :)


Many owners quite liked the cabinet, and the nickname could have been adopted if the new SBITX V2 version had not brought design changes in addition of the changes on transceiver board. The depth of the cabinet is now one-third, transceiver board is located on the back and the new look of the housing is more reminiscent of a door opener...
