thank you SamOS39. Did you have to change the psu or is the standard 1200 psu fine?  

afew more questions I thought off:

If you can use the standard power supply how is the cd powered?

I'm guessing even with a slim line drive you can't cut the cradle to slip under the drive?

is there any need to add afew small fans into the case?

ok managed to pick up a abused A1200 for £20 of ebay and afew of the other parts I need. I was trying to locate a 030 or 040, but not alot happening there. So the only spare card I have lying about is a 060/160mhz BPPC.  I know its not recommended to fit one of these cards into a desktop amiga but at this point in time i have no option as a standard 1200 just doesnt do it for me :)

PSU is'nt a problem as I binned afew of those crappy plastic infinitive towers but kept all the connectors :)

So whats the recommended options for installing a bppc into a desktop 1200?

Right nearly after a year of planning to do this mod, I've finally started. I've got my cd drive and converter,buffer interface, and sent a email to amigakit to see about making a power lead to power the hdd,cd,later date a sd reader,and 3 40mm fans.

I'm going to use the BPPC and bvision in the desktop so will 3 40mm fans be enough?

I've managed to pick up a powerbox psu which should have plenty of juice to power the system.
