I don't think it's wise if you are getting it for musical application.
Most specifictions are so much better for the G5. Go to Apples site and
check it out!

I've been plugging monitors alteratively into PC's and my PowerBooke
here for years. No problem :-)  You might need a little adapter though.

Yes, I'm not buying an Apple monitor. And I'm actually leasing the G5
until I'll own it after two years. That's a good idea since you can
count off the cost from your income before calculating the income taxes
to pay. But then I'm in Sweden and I don't know if your taxing system
will let you do that.

All the best
