Apparently this is dells solution to your problem, has ballistic armor and is apparently able to be drop kicked into a pool with rabid sharks who have chainsaws for teeth.
You could get an external drive and possible cluster them together for the enhanced processor power? Dont know but this taptop seems to be able to handle the enviroment you want it to.
Also UPS plus Solar Panels = headache so be prepared!
Any of the A+, Network+, etc books put out by exam prep are relatively cheap and are GREAT (imho, read again in MY honest OPINION) in terms that they cover the information presented and do a very good job of prepping for the exam the book covers. (Also offers a discount on buying a testing slot) The advantage and draw back however is that they cover ONLY what will be found on the test, which means your prepped for the exam, which is usually fairly comprehensive, but it doesnt go very far beyond that. Again this can be forgiven because the test is usually pretty comprehensive
If you decide you eventually want to actually do this the basic pricipal/theory/rig is this.
1. Get a solar panel, DC charge controller, large watt DC to AC inverter, and a few high amp hour deep cycle battery
2. Attach solar panel to charge controller, charge controller to the batteries, batteries to inverter
3. Plug you appliance in to the inverter and enjoy
Realize this is a fairly large simplification and you should definately do some calculation involving the amount of watts hours you need to use versus the amount of watt hours the batteries can hold. Also you should do the calculations and shop around to find out how big of a panel you want, eseentially the bigger, the more expensive, the faster the batteries charge.
And once again, THIS IS A SIMPLICATION OF THE WHOLE PROCESS not a definative description

They're working on that for the next model

seems like there is already a solution for your problem right....here http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/8f84/
