PowerMac G4 QuickSilver
Mercurial (quicksilver is liquid mercury) in colour (Apple named its silver colour QuickSilver too), name (that’s what they were called) and life (the three versions survived less than two years in production, July 2001 to January 2003).

I look forward to your putting alternative cases.
