You can probably find some decent CRTs on Facebook marketplace for very cheap (e.g. the other day i found a bunch of them less than 10 euros each) - they wont be as good as those mentioned in the article (unless you get really lucky) but anything that can do 120Hz or above should be enough to let you see that.
A bigger problem would be connecting them to the modern GPU. Nvidia removed the DAC from their GPUs after GTX 9xx series and even that wasn't that great (AMD also removed it some time before). So you'll need to find some way to convert the digital signal to analog VGA signal and a good DAC for that. I think there is some thread in the HardOCP forums about that but personally i haven't tried to go down that rabbit hole (yet :-P).
