I run one of these on my desk 24x7 with a raspberry pi and a 3D printed monitor that simulates a CRT. I tried with a real CRT TV but the frequency and having it at the side of my main monitor started to make me sick.

I love the contrast between using a book to raise your main screen... and having a whole computer dedicated to showing weather 24/7!
You missed the irony of the monitor sitting on a NUC that is probably 1000x more powerful than the Pi running the weather lol.
What do you mean by "sick"? Headaches from coil/flyback transformer whine? Perceptible flicker due to the CRT being in the corner of your peripheral vision?

I'm a bit susceptible to noises myself.

The flicker in the corner of my eye. It started to make me sick to my stomach somehow. It's a weird feeling.
It seems like this could make a good addition for the folks working on EmuVR @ https://www.emuvr.net/
Nice! Which screen is that? All of the screens I've found are widescreen and I'd like to do a similar project
