I was just working on the RPi reliability problem myself. There are way more solid small embedded ARM systems out there, like this one: http://www.embeddedarm

  Yikes, approximately the Pi's specs at 3 times the cost. Might make sense for a business, but not for me. :(

    That's nowhere near Pi's specs. Although the FPGA is interesting. Pi got two orders of magnitude higher FLOPS. Some integer code might run at comparable speed.

      Yup, we don't need fast floating point - this just acting as an RMQ provider for some analog sensors. What we do need are boards with much better manufacturing QA/QC than Raspberry Pi. After the nth time the USB 5V falls out, or the SD reader loses contact, you rapidly realize they're not targeted towards a production environment. As inexpensive and powerful as possible is a great goal, but you invariably lose some reliability ("pick two").
