Its All about what you want to do with them and what you have in way of games/disks for them. First as rune said getting a keyboard maybe http://www.amigakit.com/ , http://www.amibay.com/ or eBay.

Next if you want to play games only and you don't have any games/disks already you will either have to get a adf transfer kit from amigakit, you can leave them on the Miggy or write them back to disk using adf sender (provided you have floppies),
OR You can go and buy a license for http://www.whdload.de/ which is a great way to play even games that didn't run on the A1200 (providing of course you have a HDD inside your A1200 and its working)
OR you can simply use the A500 and play without hassle but since I don't know what games you have if any (you will still have to transfer them off the PC unto the miggy)
OR if your 040 has a SCSI connection you can try a SCSI CD drive and that way burn the disk from the PC and use them on the Miggy (that what I do)

OH yeah and P.S
WELCOME TO THE MAD HOUSE... :D

Iggy's right even if you have to cannibalise both to make one work one (which I hope you don't to).
What monitor have you got for them? How do you hook them up onto a screen?
What other peripherals do you have?
If you were is OZ I would set you up with a A1200 keyboard (I have one spare although its a bit yellow).
But after the keyboard you will need a HDD, maybe 3.1 Roms, and a Scan doubler (i use an Indivision AGA) so you don't have to worry about old monitors blowing up.. (which happen to my 1080 yesterday :( ) and ofcourse a good joystick or two.... which brings up a question you got a mouse for your miggies?
