$300 for a case/PS/mobo doesn't seem that such a killer deal that you have to use this either. My last custom build was in an Antec Fusion case (430W quiet PS) that looks to have more features than the Shuttle. I don't recall exact prices but case & mobo was definitely under $300.
Yeah, I don't know how the power supply calculator works either. I just input all the components and hit calculate and it said 242W. Also, I've seen the Shuttle kit go on sale for $229.

The Antec Fusion looks really nice. What mobo/PS combo did you use?
