I don't have the models memorized and I'm not at home to check, but I recently bought four towers that don't have TPM or a management engine and allow you to disable UEFI. They're not new, true, but they're certainly not 486 level.

None of which I was talking about. But I am pretty sure that with any motherboard, you can disable onboard Ethernet and install whatever adapter you want instead.
