There's a few that I can think of off the top of my head.

DEC Rainbow. (got one at home)  8088(?) and Z80.  It ran a somewhat 
modified version of DOS IIRC, but isn't really what I'd call a PC.

NCR WorldMark 5100 - up to 32-way Pentium Pro machine, dual microchannel 
busses, ran NCR Unix or potentially a somewhat modified Redhat.  These 
are in the same class as what Ethan talks about in a message, except I 
don't think that these are capable of running Windows.

They're not classic, but Cray's (use to be OctigaBay) XD1 and their XT3 
(aka Sandia's Redstorm) use AMD Opterons in a very non-PC-like 
configuration.

Those are the examples I could think of off the top of my head.
