I have fried one or two, but it was my own fault each time. (Do not connect the +5v from the barrel connector to the GPIO pins!) I use a BB Black in an outdoor location and it runs 24/7 with no hitches, and has been for months. It's in San Francisco and it's inside a control box, so not the most extreme conditions, but it has survived all the recent wet weather and hot days last summer with aplomb. edit: I have flashed the firmware numerous times on several boards and have never had an issue.
