I am looking at getting a beefier card than my 030/25, but I am concerned about heat.
Reading a bit, it seems that 040 and 060 cards will cause heat issues in a normal A1200 case, is this correct?
 
What about an 030/50 ?
 
Basically, whats the beefiest option for a non-towered plain old A1200 case ?

A 68030 50mhz will be fine, I'm running mine with 64 meg of ram and a 2 gig compact flash in a 19" rack.  No issues at all!
