So this happened on the way home yesterday, could here a really high pitch creaking/squeeking noise all the way home and i was thinking "best check that when i get in" as i turn the second to last corner on my commute my foot feels as if its unclipped without the click of it actually unclipping and i look down to find a whole crank arm dangling off my shoe, luckily I was just trundling along and managed to pull over and stop without issue.
Think the threads on the axle might be stripped which obviously fucking sucks if it is the case especially as I was going to sell them soon anyway.

it 100% is not a G5, they have the 1 large fan rather than the 2 smaller ones that appear on the G5.
When they were bought they were custom made to order so I assume (like everything we use here) they specced them as highly as possible.

i found this which seems promising, i guess getting it to run a later OS means I'd be able to run more up to date browsers and maybe photoshop and lightroom CC?
http://lowendmac.com/2014/modernizing-the-mac-pro-11-and-21/If its got a decent amount of RAM and works well as it is and they've happened to leave photoshop CS3 on there I may just leave it and use it purely for editing images, in which case I guess it doesn't need to be updated?

Will have been bought in 2007 I think as thats when the company opened, were a printing fineart/photo printing company so I assume they were as highly spec'd/modded as possible in terms of RAM and whatnot
*edit- is there a way of me telling what year exactly it is without turning it on?
so far I've identified that its definitely the Mac pro and not the similarly styled Power Mac G5 -
