There is Lots you can Do to upgrade your Amiga 1200:

1) add USB ports with the SUBWAY USB from AmigaKIt
2) add internal Laptop DVDRW/CDRW drive
3) add 80 Gigabyte Harddrive (yes you can read all of it)
4) add 128mb or 256mb if your Accelerator supports is
5) add a Wireless PCMCIA card in the Card slot
6) Add a Compact FLash adaptor internally to the IDE chain
7) Upgrade to OS3.9 (I prefer OS3.1)
Get a Genlock if you want to Do Video
9) Add a Coclino PS/2 Mouse adaptor to use Optical PC mice
10) Get SCALA MM300 or MM400  (Powerpoint for the Amiga)
11) Get DSS8+  Digital Sound Studio 8bit Sound Sampler
12) get a PC power supply and convert it for your A1200
13) Get AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo, and MSN and AmIRC
14) Get Brilliance 2.0 Paint package
15) Get a Motorola 68060 accelerator if you can!
16) Even better, get a PowerPC/68060 and use OS4.0 and Linux


And so much more you can do!    I say a DVDRW/CDRW jus so that you have the maximum possible upgrade incase you want to burn CD's in the Future (Burn It, MakeCD, Frying Pan, Master Iso)  are available Burning software for Amiga

Dont worry about the length of the list.........these are just in My opinion the first Priorities.

But as it is.You have an Excellent machine right now!  My Amiga is 68030 as well..........and it does lots!

All you need is OS3.1 or 3.9, and a Harddrive bigger than 4gig..although 4 gig will do you just fine and last a while.

For Music I would say get a Midi Interface, Digital SOund Studio 8+ for sound sampling, ProTracker, Octamed SOund STudio, MusicX, Bar N Pipes Professional.
and your good. You can alway later upgrade to a 16bit SOund Card too!
