You can never have too much capacity, and if you feel the same way, you'll be geeked to find out that Western Digital is now shipping its high performance WD Black desktop hard drive line in capacities up to 4TB. The new 4TB model (WD4001FAEX) offers twice as much capacity as the previous top-end WD Black drive (2TB, WD2002FAEX), and is one of five available models, including two 500GB drives (one with 32MB cache and the other with 64MB) and a 1TB drive.

If you're not yet ready to dive into the deep end of water cooling by building your own setup from scratch (apparently not as popular as it used to be, hence the demise of Danger Den) but still want to get your feet wet, then a self contained liquid cooler might be what you're after. There are plenty of options to choose from, including two new models from Corsair, the Hydro Series H100i and H80i.
