The only graphics card for the A1200 is the BlizzardVision, but you need to have a Blizzard PPC to use it. It will fit in the case, but you need to take care of the power/heat dissipation issues.

You can use OS 3.9 without a graphics board allright. I believe OS 4.0 on AGA is also possible. But probably not a pleasant experience. Note that you need a Blizzard PPC for OS 4.0. And 4.1 is just not present for classic amigas.

Once again, there's no 4.1 for classics. You can't use 4.1. You can only use 4.0, which you can buy from your favorite retailer.

As for the experience, I don't know, I have a CyberstormPPC+CyberVision setup, I bought and installed 4.0 just for the sake of it, but I still use my ClassicWB setup mostly. 4.0 don't have drivers for my X-Surf ethernet board, (you need to do some tricks to use 68k drivers I believe which I didn't bother) and generally some pain to setup properly. Your mileage may vary though. Check youtube for some videos to see how it looks like.
