G5 won't start up

hi,

i've got old g5 (dual 2.0ghz) powers intermittantly. when press power button, nothing happens. start fine. once it's on, it's on , stays on.
wake sleep can same problem: works, doesnt.

be? power supply?

thought getting old g5 ebay spares (for $10-20), trying luck different power supply. use power supply old g5? (for example 1 single 1.6 ghz machine)? or did wattage change?

know may not worth effort. thought using server machine (small office setup/photography) & printing large format prints.

many thanks!
