Re: Thanks for the information - But I should have mentioned

Paint it white, the olive drab ammo canister probably absorbs quite a lot of heat from the sun. Additionally, you can channel the heatpipes to the ammo can so that the heat spreads throughout the metal shell (I'm assuming it's metal, since I've never seen a plastic ammo box). 100*F for electronics isn't really bad for electronics, now if it were 100*C...
