Dam it I was really hoping this would go through, but thank you for your fast response. Other than selling it is there anything at all  mining related I could do with it? If no mining at all is possible there has to be some other application for alternative currency related I can use this hardware for to get some money from.
Short answer? Just sell it and don't even bother.

Long answer? You have a few options:

1) Find some altcoin that can only be mined by CPU. Primecoin comes to mine, but you won't make hardly any money from it.

2) You COULD buy a pair of GPUs, some riser cables, a second PSU, and run some GPU Scrypt action.

3) Use it as a controller for a bunch of USB ASICs for BTC mining.

Almost all 3 options have better alternatives if you were to sell it, and buy newer hardware that would do a better job.

Best analogy is that you have a warehouse full of old-model pickups and want to compete in Formula One.

Those Dells have some grunt, but are power-hungry CPU only.

Wow thank you all for the answer I think I will just sell it and get some GPU's and begin mining. What do you guys think about this guide (http://www.cryptobadger.com/build-your-own-litecoin-mining-rig/) I want to follow to mine other currencies by joining a pool that switches to the most profitable coin of the day? Is this worth my time and effort?

Thank you all for your very quick responses.
