It's not bad though and certainly better than the vast majority of computers I see sitting around at non computer peoples houses :P

If was a main machine to be used by a designer, gamer, or developer I'd give it a 5... If I were judging this based on just a computer at some random persons house I'd give it an 8

Extra credit: I've got a computer bone yard over here... enough parts to build two or three machines at least... However you COULD downsize the case and hook it up to your TV. Get a wireless mouse and keyboard and stash them in your coffee table. Use it to stream / browse / whatever to deliver media to your TV
HD's say "WDC WD5000AAKS - 0" and "WDC WD5000KS - 00M". so 5000?

yeah it's not a friggin gateway. this thing used to be a file server for a small office and stored/transferred lots of hi res images and raw video. but it was given to the company as the IT guys hand me down so I was sure he wasn't giving them his good stuff. i have a small graveyard myself. i've been piecing computers together and giving them to family/friends when their stuff breaks. i hate to scrap a computer that works fine just because it's "old"

thanks for the extra credit suggestion
