I perfer the small case also! you can get an 060 cpu card it will fit in the case.... Thats what I would look out for. I would also get a scan doubler (if you don't alreadyhave one) In terms of NEW amigas the only option you have right now is pegasos. (check google) You can also try to get amigaXL and run amithon on a regular pc. It's very fast but does not run games... I personaly think your 1200 is great fun. If you want a tower, I would suggest a regular big box amiga like the 4000. Amigakit is o.k. some of there stuff IS expensive , it's a mixed bag, make sure to check e-bay also...
