The Watercooling Matrix

Many Custom PC, CPCFF and WCuk forum users know that I’ve been working on a website called The Watercooling Matrix for a couple of months now although in the last month I’ve been snowed under with other things and part migrated to Vista so it has been neglected a little! The basic idea behind the site is a matrix or database of information which is displayed in a grid that allows you to view systems that have been submitted with certain water-cooling configurations.

The idea is you might want to use a certain size radiator or a certain case but don’t know if one will fit in the other. Using the Matrix you can click on a certain radiator size, for example 360mm and see all systems that have used that size. Likewise you can click on a certain case and see all systems built using that case. All systems are water-cooled obviously so you’ll be able to see lots of different ways people have come up with to water-cool their case.

The Matrix also shows the number of combinations of a specific case and radiator size for example a Silverstone TJ-07 with a 360mm radiator and this too you are able to select to see all TJ-07’s with a 360mm rad. ? Well click on over to www.watercoolingmatrix.net and let me know your thoughts. If you have a water-cooled PC then feel free to submit it. You’ll get featured on the front page!

I’m trying to keep the site as simple as possible partly as water-cooling can be a complicated subject but also because my own web design skills are fairly limited so please excuse the fact it’s not the most sexy site out there! Who knows maybe a nice big fancy enthusiast site will incorporate it into their website one day and make it look nice! However I am keeping it up to date with the latest water-cooling news and reviews and adding new features like a radiator dimensions table so it’s worth checking out every now and then. Visitor wise it’s been going very well considering I’m not advertising per-say. Watercooling UK were kind enough to exchange banners (thanks Rob) and I am of course affiliated massively but unofficially with Custom PC! So I’m getting quite a few hits through this and various other places which have doubled every month since the site went live to nearly 2000 unique hits in April!

Sound good? Well click on over to www.watercoolingmatrix.net and let me know your thoughts. If you have a water-cooled PC then feel free to submit it. You’ll get featured on the front page! I’d like to give special thanks to Marcus and Rob of WCUK, Mark Buckley (mad4maxin), LukeSullivan (D-Cyph3r), Andrew Shapter (OneEyeUK), Stuart Llewellyn (stuartpengs), WoodSpoon and GlowingBulb who all helped very early on with the site and gave feedback and/or submitted their own systems. Thanks must finally go to CPC for these excellent Blogs, Plogs and Forums and of course THE magazine!

regards to all
