Blizzard 1260 with standard PSU

[jj]

my original miggy A1200 revision 1A  the power supply for that was not good enough  when I just added a pcmcia cd rom that was powered from the parallel port.  had to get a bigfoot as was crashing all the time

I use a GVP 030 board with a flash HDD on an A500 PSU (~60w). I think the A1200 PSU is ~23w, which is too low, especially using a mechanical HDD (not used one in years but hey). I do have a converted ATX PSU but the fan noise is annoying, although I think i could slow down the fan to make it quieter - its not like the Amiga is pulling anywhere near 250w, I just can't be bothered! A500 bricks is the best solution for mid-range A1200's IMO.

I ran a desktop A1200 with Blizzard 1260, 16Mb RAM, Internal hard disk, SurfSquirrel, and MAS Player from the standard white brick with no power problems at all.

Prior to that I had the Blizzard 1230 Mk4, again with no problems...

I'm running a very power hungry 1200 with its stock brick PSU (A600/1200 unit) and the only problems I had with my setup was a VERY hot PSU, which soon changed once I added a fan to it.  It now runs cool and the fan is silent because I used a 12V fan from the 5v supply line. It's near the back of the brick case pointing towards the heat sinks.  I used an ATX PSU before that, but was very noisy and UGLY, so I decided to use the original supply instead.
It's powering apollo1260/66 32meg, FastATA with 2.5" hard drive, clockport prelude sound card, 12v high rpm fan in 1200 case, squirrelscsi interface, and floppy drive of course.  I've had no issues with power whatsoever, and have been using this psu in this configuration for over 3 years now.
