Basically I'm setting her up to play all the old games again but am going to go for a hard drive this time to save on all that annoying disk swapping.
A 2,5 IDE PC Drive will do, beware more than 4GB will need a patch. And you probably need something to hold that HD inside the A1200.

My question is, since I've been using WINUAE a fair bit is it possible with a few upgrades to get the amigas workbench looking a bit more upto date i.e. higher res, more colours say something like the Amiga in a box addon for WINUAE.
Erm sotware wise it's no problem to have a funkier Workbench. The Problem is that resoulution and 256 colours will stay until you upgrade to a gfx card as they are an hardware limitation.

I have been looking at various accelerator boards but to be honest I don't really have a clue and I know you guys know yer stuff so if I said I had £100 to spend what kinda bits would you recommend..
I don't know exact prices maybe have a look at some Blizzard, MTec, whatever 1230 Board with a bit of FastRam. A Ram only expansion will also help. A 1240 or 1260 Accelerator board should be nice but you will see that Amiga accellerators are insane priced. If you have compatability issues with your Accelerator and some games try WHDLoad and if you like it register it then.

P.S. I would like to be able to display on a spare 14" PC monitor I have. Been reading up and it seems I just need a converter of some sort.
Depends on if it can syncronyze on 15 kHz, if not you need a Scandoubler/Flickerfixer bye bye hard earned money...
