Using an Emac as a monitor for a G5?

Is it possible to use an older Emac as a monitor for a G5 tower? Are there adapters for such a purpose? Thanks

Ibook, Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Okay. I give up. You say I can do this natively in Leopard? How, pray tell?
screen recycler uses the network and a virtual network, I think. How does Leopard do this? I too have an unused eMac with a terrific monitor I'd love to use as a dual setup.

Is Leopard's built in method the screen sharing function in Sharing preference tied to iChat or equivalent on the network?
Can I have InDesign on one monitor and Indesign's menus on the other? Will Spaces work across both monitors/computers using this sharing method?

Leopard's built-in method is the one in the Sharing pane of System Preferences which works over a network; this method only mirrors the current display and cannot be used for additional screen space.
