Even if it's just a useless lump without having 2 other Artifacts on the field, {4} for a 5/5 is a great deal.

-I Path to Exile your Rusted Relics
-*sacrifices all other artifacts* Illegal target, sorry.
In the right deck, you have more than ennough time to get at least 2 artifacts in play before having the mana to play him. So, I guess that's not a bad card.

{4} for a 5/5, as an uncommon too! Also i think Precursor Golem may have some synergy with this card depending on what sorcery and instant spells are released in the upcoming sets...Shape Anew, anyone?

With the introduction of living weapon mechanic in Mirrodin Besieged, the stocks of cards such as Rusted Relic see pretty serious increase in my eyes.

Surprisingly effective. Throw him down, let your opponents forget about him, counts towards his own metal-craft. I run him in a Jor Kadeen EDH deck and thanks to artifact lands he's pretty much always a 5/5 for 4, and gets beefed up by not only Jor but Tempered Steel as well. Very solid card and I'm never disappointed to draw this guy.

Question: if you mind control him, and you don't have metalcraft, will the enchantment fall off, and will he go back to the original owner?

Nope, it doesn't work that way. Summoning sickness looks at whether permanent was here at your upkeep, and not at whether it came into play as a creature. So he won't be able to attack on turn he came into play.
Still, he's one big golem, and metalcraft isn't too hard to activate.

4 COLORLESS for a 5/5 (as long as you can play right.)

I don't like this guy in draft anymore... Too easy to shit it down with a Blight Mamba, Wall of Tanglecord or instant-speed artifact disruption.
The game really is to the point that a generic 5/5 for 4 just isn't all that valuable anymore...
