There was IBM, Packard Bell, Hewlett-Packard, eMachines, Compaq before the acquisition and here in Europe a number of more local brands (eg Tulip in the Netherlands, Escom and Vobis in a lot of countries) too. Gateway was a fairly big thing here too but Dell not so much in stores as they only ever sold online here. And that was still a bit 'scary' for most consumers when gateway was still a thing. Dell did more B2B because of that.
But I think there were a lot of them tbh. I'm sure I forgot many too :)
