Barn Find PC?

So my friend's mother had this old computer and was told it wasn't worth keeping so she gave it to me. I have no real idea on the specs because it's a P4 socket 478 and I am just disassembling it for the case and not really planning on trying it. It isn't really a great case but I think it looks decent.

What I think was funny that you probably can't tell from the pics is that only 6 of the standoff screws were in, and they had the wrong screws so when I unscrewed them it pulled the entire standoff out. That heatsink looks high end for a P4 CPU.

The case appears to be what would have been considered a gaming case from the early 2000's. I think I'll clean it up and try to put some modern parts in, maybe an AMD Richland APU based system.

And no, it wasn't really in a barn, I just couldn't think of a title and that sounded good.
