Is this a good deal on this mame computer?

Just found this bare bones kit:

Is that a good deal for all of that?  I've been out of the hardware side of computer for too long now and I don't know if the AMD Sempron is good or not.

I have been thinking of just getting a dell cheapo computer for my cab (I see the P4 2.8 computers go for $350 after rebate every once and a while), but is this a better deal?  I already have a video card with tv out for my cab, so that's not an issue, but other than that it looks like all I would need is a hard drive and operating system.  Is that correct?

Thanks in advance for any help.

AlanS17:

Though ought to be fine hardware for the vast majority of MAME games, and the price is fair, too.

Tiger-Heli:

Pretty good price, but I've heard TigerDirect is bad about ever paying rebates.  Might want to do a search on it.

Kremmit:

I've been burned on Tiger rebates before.

However, I see on their site they now have a "Rebate Guarantee" program, I guess Tiger will pay you themselves if the original rebate offerers don't cough up.  Haven't heard from anybody that's tried it, it's probably too new. 

CJK:

Tiger Direct has a fairly sketchy reputation, particularly in the rebates department.

Caveat emptor.
