Mac keyboard and mouse is just usb and the monitor and speakers can be what you already have.

keyboard and mouse are allways included when you buy one so it won’t matter.  
I’ve never tried to cross over those but I do know mac supports the 2nd and 3rd buttons if you got 'em … their stock mice just don’t have 'em

as far as the screen & Speakers, It’s all generic - if you can connect it… it should work

…I’ve got a CompaqPresario 1725 hooked to mine as a second monitor  
and I’ve got a pair of AltecLansing’s multiMedia’s that were on a PC Before

mouse and keyboard are usb so if they can go usb then you can use them, thats what i am using, a PC usb mouse. and the G5 is a good choice. i was gonna get one till i upgraded the PC. you will love it 😃

the G5 is a good choice if you’re getting a Mac since its the best Mac on the market (for now). But you’ll only love it if you love macs 😉 (or at least if you grow to love them)
