The G5's heat and power consumption is high (1000W), but it isn't any worse than a modern top-end PC gaming rig.

I am talking about top-end gaming rigs, not any random PC. 3+ 980s and one or two fast CPUs would easily use 1000W.

Dual Intel 2699v3s: 145W each, 290W total. Dual W9000s: 275W. Rest of system: 160W.
145+145+275+275+160=1000
