I replaced my old power supply with a new Antec 430w power supply, and now my mouse, keyboard, and monitor won't work.
This is so familiar.... sounds like you've toasted your mainboard....
this could have been caused by a power surge, or by overclocking, or just when your PSU blew (it may have spiked your board as the voltage regulators failed), definately sounds like your graphics card/on-board graphics may be toasted too.
unsure if you have lost your PS2 ports and your on-board USB ports as you have no graphics output.
is it an on-board graphics card, do you have a spare/old graphics card you can test your system with?
if you cannot get your graphics systems working then you will need to replace your mainboard,
Believe it or not, if you have a floppy drive in your computer, try unplugging it and disconnecting the data ribbon. Many times, damaged floppy drives can short out motherboard functions and even prevent computers from powering up. If that doesn't fix it, then get a usb keyboard and mouse set (wireless would be fine) or borrow some, and see if they work. If they do, then the power outage damaged the PS2 ports.

Yeah the old PSU burned out so I replaced it. The pc starts up, the drives all work and i can hear the processor or whatever power up, but all my attatchments wont respond.
didn't work. I unplugged the floppy drive and removed the data ribbon, and still the problem is there. I am using a usb wireless keyboard, but I also tried a PS2 keyboard, none of them work.
not sure how that can be related to a PSU replacement, is it booting at all?
why did you replace PSU? if it blew...it may have caused damage to the mainboard.
either that or you have not connected PSU correctly
