Actually, the G5 comes with some surprisingly crappy hardware in it's default configuration. It's got a relatively low-end graphics card (Radeon 9600), onboard sound, tinny speakers, etc. Sure, it's got GigE and Firewire 800, but lot's of PC motherboards have the former and there aren't any devices out that take advantage of the latter. In any case, you can't really blame Apple for this, given that they are selling a dual 2.5GHz 64-bit machine for 3K. With the dual CPUs and all that fancy case engineering, they had to cut corners somewhere, right?
