At the moment, I use an XServe G5 (2ยท0 GHz, 2GB

speakers and a blu-ray player - or doesn't the
G5 have enough poke for such shiny additions?
Your G5 is more than ample speed-wise for
blu-ray. Blu-Ray is just a big DVD, really.
Video data on it is usually either MPEG-2 or
MPEG-4 (h.264). No big deal.
Apple does not directly support Blu-Ray. But 3rd
party software support is available, and
companies like OWC (macsales) offer the drives,
both internal and external.

Speakers.... are so subjective. IMO it's best to
go to computer stores and take a listen to what
they have.
If yer going to be doing any video editing, you
might want to consider adding some memory.
