Take one Mac IIci motherboard, find a powersupply in a dumpster, rip a floppy from an old Mac SE FDHD, scrounge around for an old 80 meg Hard Drive, rebuild a Mac RGB Display, get a donated Ethernet card, and get some RAM from all those old Mac Plus's you have laying around, stir gently and pour into an old Leading Edge PC case (after some serious modification) and you have Whacked.
Whacked is a Mac IIci that does not look like any Mac I have ever seen. (I'll try to post a picture soon.) In a Cobalt Blue painted Leading Edge Case with the Floppy drive sticking out of the front. I am amazed every day that it continues to run, but it does so and seems to rather well. It has been named Whacked for the moment becuse it houses the complete Whacked Mac Archives. It serves them via Peter Lewis's NetPresenz 4.0.1 from an external drive. Origanally this machine was named Cobalt for the color it was painted. If the archives are ever moved from this machine it will revert back to being known as Cobalt.
