Can I do this

Could I cash out all my chips, uninstall my poker room software, sign up under a new name and get a bonus for a first time deposit using the same software, reinstalled?

I wouldn't recommend it finshko..that is called bonus abuse and if you are caught all (if you win any) of your money will be forfeited.

If other sites find out about it they will let you play but will never let you cash out.

Why don't you try joining a room like Absolute or Party Poker where they are constantly offering reload bonuses? Also, if you're on one of the 'network' sites, you can join another room on the network and get the sign-up bonus for that particular room (good with Prima sites).As for uninstalling, I think the poker sites are wised up to people doing that and you could risk having your account suspended if you use the same email or deposit method. There's no reason why you can't sign up under a family or friends name though.

A few of the poker sites might do worse than that to us players, but personally, I would just never try it.

I don't mean to preach here, but two wrongs never make a right.

This answer depends on which poker room you are playing through. Some (full tilt poker), you can actually cash out your money, and without having to uninstall the software, just create another account and receive the initial first time deposit bonus of $600. Of course, you have to use a different email address than you used to sign up for your first account.
