There was some press, a little bit of it, over at XLR8YOURMAC.com last week about some G5 owners having issues with their UPS's. Don't remember if any of them claimed that they suffered damage from the UPS's.
OTOH, I wouldn't run a G5 *without* a UPS. I just bought a new Belkin 1500VA UPS for my new Dual Core 2.3 Ghz G5. It has 8 battery and surge protected outlets! No joke. I was going to invest in an APC RS1500VA, but for less $$$, and more protection and outlets, the Belkin was just too good to pass up.
I got it at this place (lowest price on the 'Net):

I don't like the Belkin shutdown software as much as I like APC's, but the unit is stellar.
