I have a G5-based iMac (17") as well--nothing but problems after the 1st year. Right out of the box it sounded like a 747 on final approach. Got the fans replaced, and it was better but still louder than necessary.
Recently had it puke--wouldn't let me upgrade the OS with weird kernel panics and such. Turned out to be "bulging capacitors" on the "logic board" (WTF?!) -- a known issue, but was replaced under AppleCare warranty. Two weeks later it was overheating and shutting down for no reason. Apple replaced the PSU (again, under warranty).
My warranty runs out in July. I think I'll probably have a paperweight by then....
