Hook Up Peripherals
-Normally I would say close the case and then hook up the peripherals but this is the real world. Unless you're perfect you have screwed up somewhere that will make it necessary to access inside of computer later. No offense of course, but it happens and its usually small stuff that gets you.

Mouse
-Your mouse will plug into the back of the computer along with everything else. You will notice small ports in the back where they fit in and noted by the I/O shield. Simply plug the connector into the USB port or PS/2 (usually green).

Build a PC double check
-Now if you made it this far you are ready to crank that little dude up. Before we do this we need to double check the work.
So I suggest you grab a notepad and mark all the things done and check them one by one .
Inside Case
-Make sure that all IDE Cables are seated and didn't move or unseat while installing other devices. Make sure they are keyed in the right direction and that the red lines faces power connector on drives. On the motherboard side the cable will be slotted to go in one direction.
-Check all power connectors make sure they are seated.
-Check all wiring and make sure they are out of way of any fans of sides of case were they may be caught.
-Make sure all drives are snug and tight.
-Make sure there is no play in motherboard itself and snug. Double check back of motherboard plate to insure no orphan brass standoff. This can cause a short.
-Insure all add in cards are snug and seated. Make sure RAM modules are seated well and snapped in place.
