The external shell of the PrimoChill X-QPack follows the same traditional pattern of most desktop cases and is designed in the "U" shaped pattern. Once the external shell has been removed, a view of the interior reveals that the case is both spacious and well laid out. Towards the front of the case is the location of the external 5.25" and 3.5" drive bays.

The PrimoChill X-QPack offers accommodating storage capabilities thanks to the inclusion of two 3.5" internal drive bays that sit adjacent to the external drive bays. The internal 3.5" drive bay is secured by two 6-32 mounting screws positioned on the bottom that allows this cage to be completely removable. One of the key components to the custom water cooling solution is the addition of the new PrimoChill Typhoon UV Blue single floppy bay reservoir. The PrimoChill Typhoon consists of laser cut cast acrylic joined together to form a water-tight seal that is pressure-leak tested. The unit includes two inlets and one outlet port that enables multiple pulls and returns to and from the reservoir. The top portion of the Typhoon features a screw-in plug which is used to seal the fill hole.

All the water cooling components included in the PrimoChill X-QPack are interconnected with plastic hose clamps and 3/8" PrimoFlex UV Blue Tubing. The tubing consists of soft flexible material that is not prone to kinking and eliminates the need for water dyes since it is reactant to UV light.

The heart of the water cooling solution is the inclusion of the Swiftech MCP350 DDC 12V Water Pump. The Swiftech MCP350 DDC 12V Water Pump employs a brushless DC motor with lower power consumption ranging from 6 to 13.2 VDC. Despite the size, the pump is capable of producing maximum flow rate of 400 LPH with a maximum system pressure of 22 PSI. As previously mentioned, cooling for the entire water cooling solution is handled by an HWLabs Black Ice Extreme Radiator but VoyeurMods has also added a 120mm SilenX Ixtrema Pro cooling fan. The SilenX Ixtrema Pro is a LED based fan that pushes 64CFM at 1500RPM with a noise level of 14dBA.
