In general ALL A1200 Turboboards fit into the Desktopcase. Only exeption would be the Blizzard 1240 and maybe some DCE made Blizzard1260 due to an upright SIMM-socket.

Usually only 040er and overclocked 060er cards need a fan. For a 25MHz 040 you might get away with just a passive heatsink. That`t the approach the Apollo1240 takes with the processor faceing inwards so you can still close the trapdoor (though it is not recommendet, as the 040 even at 25MHz generates a lot of heat)
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

With just a 030 you will have a good chance. I ran an A1200 with Blizzard 1230, 3.5" HD and CD-ROM (power taken from the ext. floppyport) for several years.
You might even get away with a Blizzard1260 without SCSI-kit running of the orgiginal PSU but any 040 based card runns a good chance to overwhelm the little bugger.
