I'm exploring custom water cooling loops with cylinder type reservoirs and wondering about compatibility. Which computer specifications should I focus on to determine if a case fits a reservoir?

The reservoir size doesn't influence cooling in any way—it's just for storing more liquid. To get a large cylindrical shape, purchase a bigger container. You could search online for pictures of comparable setups to visualize the design.

You're trying to figure out if you're focusing too much on technical details. It's important to balance understanding specifications with your overall needs and preferences.
