Shel... Unless you love to tinker, it's important to note that you'll spend less time working with the hardware (either PC or Mac) and more time working with the operating system and software.
If you're coming from Windows, it would be good to get familiar with Mac OS X and see if that is something you'll appreciate. Top shelf apps like Adobe Photoshop will essentially be the same, but the operating system still dictates appearance, controls, and layout to some extent. IIRC, the Apple Store has free classes designed to introduce newcomers to the Mac (and, of course, to sell them a Mac). For example, the store on Stockton has a Mac OS X classes and classes on Digital Photography workflow. <http://www.apple.com/retail/sanfrancisco> With all that said, the G5 hardware is generally great. In my job as a Tech Director, I oversee the procurement and maintenance of computers for about 100 people. I get far more life out of a Mac then I do any name brand PC, including Dell and IBM.
