Amiga 1200 rebuild, what should I do to this machine? WHDLoad?

You need more then 4MB for Amiga... maybe for AmigaOS3.1 only and MagicWB will be fine, but if you want 3.9... 8 MB is "reasonable" minimum.

One more comment about 030. Despite 030 being quite slow processor, I can do basically almost anything on my Amiga, similarly as on 040 or 060 (with exception of heavy lifting like mp3 decoding etc.).

It is not tragic cpu, considering fact that there is not that much software that really need something faster... (kind of).

Understood... just "feels" better have the latest Kickstart for only an additional $17 or so...

...best feeling ever

...best feeling ever . I can't even explain it. When I switched to ROM 3.1 from ROM 3.0 my world completely changed. This new experience of having, new, latest ROM for my 20+ year old Amiga gave so much light into my life. I'm 100% relaxed when I don't think about mapping my ROM, that it is copied to FAST RAM during boot. No, this times are gone for ever and will never come back. All of this was possible, due to AmigaKit.com who sold me ROM 3.1 for my A1200 (with MANUAL!). Days of darkens and pain are gone. Get yourself new life, get ROM 3.1. You will not regret it, ever and you will not look back.

I'm also going to work on my A1200 desktop, but Acill first need to replace cap in it. I will use with AmigaOS3.1+MagicWB, 4Mb Ram and 4GB CF card attached to 4xEIDE. Later I will get Indivision for it and will attach it to my 32" LCD monitor and show it to my friends... .

I also need to make it "white again"... it is quite yellow.

Sounds like a good plan, especially the part about sending it to Acill for a recap.  

You might want to take a look at the BetterWB pack, as well.  It's what I would use if I was running a lower-spec/non-3.9 Amiga:  http://lilliput.amiga-projects.net/BetterWB.htm

It is quite nice "patch" for AOS3.1, but I don't see change in icons? I like MagicWB icon set .

Nice. I also got my case cleaned and looks much better (almost as new). Only problem I have are few keys that are still yellow. Maybe I should try to keep them longer?
