My setup is similar in that I dedicate one computer exclusively to my SDR-1000 and use a different one for logging et al. So my SDR-1000 plus its computer is a "stand-alone" rig.
Install a serial port in the 5000C if it doesn't already have one (COMPUSA may still have the cheap PCI card I use that provides 2S 1P for around $25), get a null modem cable or adapter (check Radio Shack) (and two audio cables, if you want more than just logging). Then just follow the general instructions for setting up any rig for CAT use. The null modem cable/adapter connects the serial ports on the two different computers. Use Kenwood mode. If your PA requires ALC for self-protection, you are on your own.
