Newbie questions about upgrading my A1200

[aturnbull]

After various previous financial committments have stopped me giving my A1200 the attention I have wanted to for the last few months I am going to be in a position to start upgrading the thing very shortly.  I've had a look and there seems to be no shortage of options and it's left me a tad confused.

I don't want to put the machine in a tower case, as I plan on acquiring another A1200 and towerising it later on so I really want to keep it in the desktop case with as few external peripherals as follows.

What would be the best accelerator that I could use in the trapdoor port that wouldn't cause the machine to overheat?  

I am looking to get a cd/dv drive to use OS 3.9 so what would be the best IDE interface I should use?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much.

Well ideally the machine would be used primarily for games but I might want to muck around in some graphics programmes on occasion, so it looks like the 1230 would be the best choice.

Thanks guys.
