Wow, thats impressive! That is the first pentium platform, yes? Kinda wish I was a little older in the 90's, lots of fun tech around then :) Was there vcore adjustments in bios/jumpers back then, or only mods?
Tho I have played around a little with some of that stuff now in later times thanks to a decade older friend of mine, he also loved the 90s stuff and has multiple systems of 486, p1, p3 etc.. He always has some stories to tell about how they tricked around with hw in that time, before the internet became common place in every household. Very cool :)
I too had a delta 80mm that I bought (mistake :P) with my first system in 2005. My then x2 4400+ CCBWE oc'd like sh*t, think I had 1.6v on it for 2.7ghz. I stuffed wet chunks of paper in my ears before I went to sleep at night while my downloads were going :P
Here is a picture of the Opteron 175/DFI/x1900xtx rig I ran until 2009:
