I have a dual 2.7 Ghz PPC G5 w/ 4.5 GB ram. The machine recently
started powering off without warning. Is this signs of a power supply
failing? If so how hard are the power supplies to replace in these
towers?
Thanks for the help.

About 9 months ago my dual 1.8Ghz started doing what you're describing.
I tried everything I could think off to resolve it, including standing
on my head and spinning widdershins thrice. I finally found this article
on xlr8yourmac:

I worked through the suggestions until I reseated my motherboard power
connector. After that, no more random shutdowns. It's been solid ever since.
