Yeah, but for the price - it's like getting a free LCD. If you don't want it - I'll take it!  ;D

The cheap dells are good machines - I've built 6 boxes with them. If you feel like building a computer you can just pickup the cheapest name brand mobo, processor, ram, and hd - cross your fingers and hope for the best. Maybe something like this:

Well looks like I will be going with an AMD, Intel  is just to dam expensive.  What do you guys think of the

CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 2.2GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor

ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe Socket 939 ATI CrossFire Radeon Xpress 3200 ATX

Can someone recommend a power supply for me to use with the MOBO above?

There was an Athlon 3400 complete system at Best Buy the other day for around $350.  When it comes to getting a cheap computer for MAME, I don't think it's worth it to build your own personally.  If you are looking for a current PC gaming machine, that's a different story of course.
