What would you consider inexpensive?

The gumstix components would cost about $250. I don't know how much to
expect to pay for a good ADC and pre-amps (and whatever else I'd need
in order to use a good microphone). Add on some more for power supply
and miscellaneous components, and we're in the $300-400 range even by
a fairly conservative estimate, with weatherproofing, microphone, and
storage all being unaccounted for.

What figure should I be aiming at instead?

(I ask as though I know what I'm doing, but I don't really. I'm just
trying to figure out if it's even worth trying to do something like
this at the moment.)
