The G4 was great, but in my case, the power supplies died, and 4 G4s went to Mac heaven.
I'd check if the G5 can handle the SW you're concerned about. This was my solution, and the G5 was easily found at a reasonable price. In my case, it was a Video capture device that needed Leopard. And the G5 was less than $200. You do need to make the leap to Sata drives, but they are very cheap, and the migration, easy.
