If the new drive is an SATA drive you'll find it fits perfectly when  
you open the side of the G5. There are little power & SATA connectors  
tucked away underneath the drive bay.

If the new drive doesn't match those connectors, and has instead a 40- 
pin connector like that at the back of the optical drive, then take  
it back to the shop & ask them to exchange it for an SATA one. It'll  
cost a few dollars more, but probably not as much as a PCI EIDE card  
that may not be supported under OS 10.7.
