I thought you dont fancy both t28 and bd28 as we both recommended it to you ><

Yes you can use the t28. But take note this model very limited. Its gonna be replaced by bd28 very soon.

Bro, I recommend "Aerocool Strike-X GT" Black edition. It has black color case with Red LED inside, perfect fit for your red-black dragon theme. Also, the airflow is very nice (it has mesh style side and top).

I know because I bought it last week. If you want more red than black, get Red Devil edition instead of Black edition.

oh ... okay thanks hahaha
