If you mean by a "real case" you have to towerize your A1200: no, not so.

The Blizzard SCSI-option (which can be fitted to the Blizzard 1230-IV and the Blizzard 1260) has a cable and connector which fits nicely in the expansion bay on the rear of your A1200 just below the floppydrive. You can connect any external SCSI-housing to to it, as long as you use the right cable (25 pins). I use a SCSI-tower with four 5.25"  drivebays, containing a CD-ROM drive, a CD-ROM burner, a DDS1 tapestreamer and a SQ5110 removable. Looks nice and works like a charm: fast and reliable.

And the SCSI-cable is just a bog-standard external cable, not the internal flatcable type... I don't like the idea of flatcables pouring out of my computer, whether it be my Amiga or any of my other machines...
Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200
