Could you list the parts used in this build by brand/part#/and size for the PSU?
This will help to determine any compatablity or product quailty issues.

Do this out-of-case troubleshooter and let us know what happens. You must remove the motherboard from the case...you're trying to determine if the motherboard is shorting/grounding out to the case or not.
