Homebrew PCBs

Yes, that oven even has a fan, although the sparkfun people apparently  
didn't identify it:
"An overhead shot of the AC transformer?" showing a picture of the very  
obvious split pole motor connected very obviously to a fan housing....  
welll..

I'm still not convinced such an oven will heat fast enough, but it should  
be easy to make a slot in the left side to slide a PCB in like the  
industrial prototyping ovens.

Somehow, i do not like the sparkfun people. I mean actually thinking it is  
a good idea to have PC control instead of a simply user interface just  
because they can't figure out how to make do with the pins...

Anyway, thanks for the link.
I guess i really need to get that oven and see how quick it heats up.  
Maybe i'll even add some heaters... but if it can't do a proper soldering  
profile i won't fool around with something that cooks components for 30  
minutes and instead go with the slide-in version.

Thanks
