What would be the best upgrade path for a stock A1200 computer?  I'm looking into upgrading the CPU and RAM with an accelerator, and make it a bit more capable.  Though I don't want to towerize the system (I prefer to keep it in the original case if I can).  My usage would be:

Music composition/mod tracking
Light Graphics work (something like DPaint)
Mild networking stuff (IRC, web browsing, FTP)
Some gaming (like WHDLoad and such)
Connection to future home file server.

If anyone knows of a decent upgrade path, let me know.

Most of those things would only require a 030/50mhz card to run at a resonable speed however if you really want to do networking stuff i cant recomend anything below 060! however on only AGA it will look very poor so a gfx card is a must then at least for web surfing! I almost forgot to Add a HD :-) 1gig 2.5" drive should be more then enough + 32mb of ram.

While I understand I'll need a graphics card, is there anything in specific you can suggest to use in a stock 1200?  I ask because I think the trapdoor bay in the back might be taken up by an external SCSI port.  I'm not sure yet about that.

Then you will need to go the expensive route and aquire a PPC card and Bvision gfx card! that should fit in the original box  but its very expensive and will probably cause heat issues.
