Thanks for the advice. I will take it for a checkup after next pay day

The last owner used it daily for 6 months without any problems (at least what he says) so I guess it's not in bad shape at least. But sure, I prefer not having a nasty surprise later

Um, I suppose they don't need OSX installed to do this checkup? Just asking

If you ask them to take it completely apart to check for physical leaks and corrosion, I don't see why they would need to even turn it on, but some others have mentioned that when the CPU's are removed and replaced after cleaning, then you may need to run some Apple-MacOSX calibration software to re-calibrate the fans.
I have not yet installed MorphOS3.2 onto my own dual 2.7GHz G5 PowerMac, but when I took it apart to clean the corrosion and replace the "O-rings" to insure it would not leak and begin more corrosion again, I did not have to do any re-calibration of the fans when starting back up in MacOSX 10.5.8.
Good luck with your new (used) MorphOS3.2 system.
