[G4] G5 question

[Tony Sheeley]

I don't know if this question is appropriate on this list, but I don't have anyone else to ask.  I've tried google, but not gotten very far.

I've aquired a G5 Dual 1.8Ghz from a studio clearout and it has had the hard drives and memory removed. (Didn't cost me anything)

In the wonderful world of PC's, you can set things up (Bios, peripherals etc) via and 'F' key during initial start up.  This usually can be done even if there are no memory modules or hard drive attached.  Is this sort of thing possible on Macs?  

I believe it has the stock video card with ADC and DVI outputs.  I've used an Apple DVI to VGA adapter and hooked it up to a PC monitor. I've attached the (black) apple keyboard and mouse from my G4 and nothing happens.  I'm just abit skeptical about buying memory and a SATA drives (that's what the connectors look like to me) for a machine that my be totally dead.
