it been designed to take tower type cpu cooler and seen some with Noctua NH-D14 coolers which are not small .

i would be tempted to do away with the wd Caviar and replacing it with a high capacity ssd /hybrid drive or even a laptop hd then remove the front hard drive bays to use a H100 water cooler system mounted in the front, You can mount upto 5x 2.5inch hard drives in there without the cages,
