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.

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