Very important – the 2.5 inch drives are extremely low power (as little as 2-3 watts power usage) and 3.5 inchers are substantially higher. My A1200 power supply looks to be rated only about 20 watts so please, folks, be cautious about trying to ad a 3.5 incher IDE to a A1200 – you could be really limiting other expansion capabilities or even 'poof' the power supply.
