I would guess a large percentage of MacPorts users have 4, 5, 10 or  
more machines at any given time so likely some 5+ year old machines,  
likely G4's and G5's.

A dimension of ROI is almost always time.

I have a PPC G5 under management that is processing hundreds of online  
manufacturing orders per week and I expect it to remain in service for  
a couple more years.
