I have a A4000 however I have installed my unit into a new "Power Tower"
as my old casing, well it's too small for the amount I have put in to the case.
With regards to the cost well at first it's cheaper because it has a case and the 1200
don't, but then it would be the same. I don't use my Phillips monitor any more
as I use a GFX card not Pal no longer.
First of all the "Amiga Format" no longer is printed and secondly to help you with
this you need a brand new mag. Well ............ because you would need new advice
as well as new hardware, you can not work on a old mag. I use "Amigactive UK".
Well I think it makes no difference as you can expand both equally well.
