THat depends how much money you have to burn and how far you want to go... the fist thing you have to do is get a Hard drive in there.

I suggest a small (couple of gig) second hand laptop drive.

I didnt know you could use laptops drives though..!!

what sort of HDD sizes will the a1200 support..??

Technically you can use any size of drive, but you will need to install a patch (which you can download from Aminet) to use drives bigger than 4gig

Ok great, how easy is it to install the drive once i get one......can anyone reccomend a good beginers guide to this sort of thing, so i dont have to bug youa ll with all these anoying questions.. :-D

Quite easy. Just open up the case and pop the drive in the cradle that you will see.

You might need a cable though... but they are really cheap.
