nothing.

ATX standard says that power always trickles to the board even when powered down.

If you want the led to go out, unplug the computer.

Your mouse is staying on because you got "keyboard power up" (or whatever Soyo calls it) enabled.

I downloaded the manual and it looks like you can either turn it off in the BIOS. Go to Power Management Setup and look for "IRQ Event Activity Detect" and disable it. That should keep power from being applied to your PS2 ports when the computer is shut down.

The MoBo LED stays on normally.
