The pump for this kit is rather neat. Its a transparent blue color so you can actually see the fluid in it. The pump has its own reservoir that holds fluid so an external resivoir really isn't needed with this application. But one is included with the kit because its the only way you can fill the system up with fluid. This pump moves 24 Gallons per Hour and only puts out 20dBA of noise. Another thing unique about this pump is that it uses a 3 pin molex connector so that it can be hooked up to the motherboard header. The motor in the pump actually changed speeds based on water resistance. So with being able to monitor the what the pump is doing through the motherboard is a nice touch.

The water block from the outside doesn't look like anything special. Looks just like a chunk of copper with a couple barbed fittings coming out of it. Now you can't actually take this block apart but above is a picture from Thermaltake showing the channeling on the inside of it. If you'll notice how the water moves throughout this block you can see the chunk of copper in the center. This is right where the core of the cpu is. The way its designed it is suppose to help radiate the heat out away from the core. One thing I wasn't real happy about was the surface that sets on the core. It is rather rough and unfinished. To me a nice smooth and lapped block would look a lot nicer and its been proven that by lapping heatsinks and water blocks, that it also helps decrease your temperatures as well.

The radiator to me is one of the more crucial components of a water cooling setup. This is what will be cooling the water down before it makes its way back to the water block. You want the water to be as close to room temp as possible. The radiator is all copper and consists of copper tubing winding its way through a series of fins. The fan attached to the radiator is a 38CFM 22dBA 3 pin fan. You can also hook this up to a motherboard header to monitor the fan speed.

The external reservoir what can I say about it other than it does its job. You would think that Thermaltake could have came up with something a little nicer looking. It almost looks like one of those cheesey French Perfume bottles. But it does its job so thats all that matters!
