I should mention, this is the exact same setup i use on an beagleboard
xm.  It's been outside for 5-6 years now, same microSD card, running
directly off solar power, so it get's it's power yanked on a daily

Only thing i've had to replace on it.. the power cord, as that rusted
out... (outside of the sealed box)
