Cold weather was a pretty simple work-around for us. I used hand-warmer packs to keep the system from freezing up. The heat generated was actually a plus. Only issue we had was when one of the systems got "bent" by some over-torqued ruck straps. There was a diagonal fold across the screen that only provided two viewable areas in the top left and bottom right corners. Enough to get the job done.

In a high temperature environment I would think processor selection would be key. I am outside my area so this is a SWAG, but I would assume certain lower-speed processors would generate less heat, and having one that does not require a fan would also help with the dust and power consumption.

If it isn't intended to be a gaming system then that is ok, and a portable DVD player is a heck of a lot less expensive to just watch movies.
