will any case fit everything, or do i need a specific case?

basicly i want to build my own, as it looks reasonably easy, ive done a bit before, fitting sound cars ect.

and no where stocks the sort of thing i want, im either paying loads for stuff i dont want/ need. or there isnt anything there thats right
