Time to re-work the cabinet

Wooooo! Go SirPoonga!

I abandoned my Raspberry Pi after I had to reimage it a couple times a year due to corruption of the SD card. Not a huge deal, but I use Windows on a PC and it's working as expected.

Yeah SD cards are rubbish for re-writable tasks in the long term. To make the Pi a viable solution consider using one of these instead. 

Xiaou2:
Look for Sellers of Used Dell PCs for Dirt Cheap (often from Recycling Sellers).   These machines might not run
modern 3d games... but they should FAR outperform any PI type of device.   They might also be able to run visual Shaders,
if they are new enough.

Many of these PCs come from businesses closing, or upgrading to newer machines.   They also have pretty
reliable hardware

A lot of these are  "Small Form Factor"  PCs... so you cant install a separate video card unless its a Half Height card..
OR.. you just remove the cover   (or mount the PC hardware without a case, directly into your cabinet)
