The Mac clones seemed interesting back in the day.  They looked somewhere in between a PC and a Mac and were able to run Mac OS just like a regular Mac.  The interesting thing was, I think many of them tended to use more standard ports & such, like a regular VGA port for the monitor rather than Apple's proprietary monitor port (which was compatible with VGA - I've seen adapters for Apple's monitor port that have a standard VGA port so you can use any monitor).
