For the SD card reader, check out https://github.com/cholonam/Sinetek-rtsx, which is forked from the fork of the original. It seems to be working fine on Big Sur, so hopefully it works on Monetary.

To keep costs down, Keep an eye on local market place and classified sites for a cheapish gaming PC with an AMD card in it (RX’s 5700 / 5700xt / 5600xt / 6600xt / 6600). Look up the parts here on Reddit and https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ to see if people have problems or methods needed to make them work.
