Any recommendations in the RPi price range?
Look at the Libre Computer boards. I got a Le Potato for 35usd last year and it's been rock solid. Seems to be about the same performance as a RBP 3B.
Finally someone mentions a product name. I am so sick of these "uh duuuh, there are better alternatives out there, hurhur" commenters who name not a single one.
I'd recommend one if I had tried any of them. The only one I've bought is the orange pi 5 which runs significantly higher than the basic RPi $35 and figured was outside the power envelope OP really needed.
Go check out ExplainingComputers on youtube.

He basically goes over every SBC possible. The good ones now are the Rock Pis and the Potato series
Thanks! I'll check it out.
