Thank you for your detailed reply.
* The HP T5710 seems to be a good choice but it only has an 800mhz CPU is there any similar thin client with more power ?
* The Furto S400 also seems like a good choice but it needs a sound card ? can't be used as it is ?
Any other thin client you would recommend ?

that for sure is much broader discussion, because at least I am not sure SBEMU is the best choice compared to the other 2 options I see:
* HP T5710 thin client with VIASBCFG tool to enable its sound in DOS:
VIASBCFG - VIA SBPro configuration tool for VIA VT8231 & VT82C686/A/B chipsets (v0.12d)
* the already mentioned Furto S400 with DDMA Sound card like Yamaha 74x
I think Yamaha 74x cannot be beaten with any of the other 2 options (SBEMU or VIASBCFG ), which more or less involve some emulation, but I think Yamaha 74x DOS tools do not include support for DDMA with Futro S400 chipset and I needed to write my own small tool for that - it was years ago I don't remember anymore, but in any way Futro S400 chipset has excellent DDMA support, years ago I tested it with all DDMA sound cards I have.
In fact I guess, HP T5710 is very good to have, because VIASBCFG support and also SBEMU should work (i.e. it has compatible with SBEMU AC97 codec, as far as I can tell).
