160GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA II 7200RPM 8MB Buffer $47.95


If you want to do some one stop shopping these will get you up and  
running.

OWC has some good prices and service. you might find slightly lower  
prices if you shop around.

You will also need a retail copy of OS X any version( be careful of  
versions that are machine specific they may not install on your G5, I  
would use at least 10.3, 10.4 is your best bet
