I will soon have two external floppy drives, a hdd and hopefully a blizzard card running.

Yes indeed. It's better advised to install a more powerful PSU with all that additional gear on the A1200. Any AT/ATX power unit will do, a 200W unit is more than enough for a start.

Check this guide plenty of info in there:

or get a goliath power supply, they come up on ebay quite often and go cheaply enough.
