Can't put a VT/Flyer in to an stock A1200, so I don't believe it to be as cool as my A4000.

So for what it is and what could be done with it. Yeah, sorta I guess. Compact, quiet and relatively portable as long as there's not a ton of peripherals hanging off of it.
My A1200 is in the living room wired to the TV. Haven't done much with it lately. Might downgrade to an '030 for game compatability.
