Andrew,
I've been looking at the documentation as I'm getting ready to start the build and I'm concerned with how you have the switch wired up. It looks like you have the neutral line switched instead of the live? I hope that this is just a typo because this is quite dangerous. You could have live AC flowing through the power suppy looking for a return to earth. Hopefully not through someones body.
I would suggest that you move the Live out line to the unused side of the switch and make another short jumper from the fuse to the switch. This would switch both Live and Neutral lines just encase someones wall plug is incorrectly wired.

If someone re-wires the switch I would like to see a photo of so we can fix ours. I just put the test light on my grounded wall outlet and sure enough the HOT/Neutral are reversed. Thanks for the heads up!

Instructables additional text (from Andrew) in Step 34:
Note: For added protection, it is a good idea to send both the neutral and the live lines through the switch before going to the PSU. The switch has 2 distinct sides that are separate from one another, so this can be done with the default hardware by simply adding one extra jumper to send the live through the other side of the switch.
Please provide a photo (or diagram) of the revised wiring. Thanks.

Here's a couple pics of the back of my switch you might be able to use for reference. Note that this is for the switch that Andrew supplies in the kit. The rocker switch will be illuminated when power is applied. Attachments:

OK Now I get it. Will do that tonight. Thanks, wasabi!
Andrew, you should include this on instructables.
