The G5 computer today might be "free" or almost free first but the energy costs eat this all up. After running your G5 for 2 years you wasted so much energy that from the paid money you could have bought a new iPad or whatever else.
It depends on the use case. If you run a PowerMac G5 for an hour or two every day on average, which is not that uncommon for home / hobby use, the added energy costs over the course of 2 years surely would not be enough to buy a brand new iPad.
