Keybaord and Mouse don't work anymore

Hey guys hows it goin? I have a question that i cant seem to fig. out. I bought a new barebone for my desktop. (it comes with a new power supply and fan.) i used the same hardware in the old one and moved it into the new barebone. Everything works, windows loads properly etc.. except for 2 things. The mouse and keyboard do not work, they dont seem to even turn on. The problem may be b/c of the new wiring, but there are no special cords/cables running into the PS/2 and keyboard ports.
if someone could please help me with this, i would GREATLY appreciate it.

*note* im writing this message on a differnet computer

thanx

look in the BIOS to see if anything is turned off(PS/2 wise) and make sure the keyboard and mouse are plugged into the right plugins(you could have switched them) or just switch them to see if it works.
