Probably should've mentioned the drive is a 250GB model.
I've played Doom 3, CoD 3, and loaded Halo ODST to the drive and then played ODST, all without a hitch. As far as I can tell, the only thing lost in transition were the avatar images. I can live with that.
I have a Thermalright SLK-900U coming in the mail tomorrow or the next day, when I tear down the case to install it to the CPU, I'll snap a pick of the drive and post. As well as a pic of the Thermalright XP-90 I modded to fit the GPU and the aforementioned SLK on the CPU (off topic, I know).

Three days now, no problems with this implementation. Halo 3 and ODST gave me no end of problems when I ran them from the DVD and with the original (and I do mean "original", think manufactured ca. 2005) Hitachi drive; at one point ODST even bricked my system for several hours, rendering the HD unreadable. I installed both Halo 3 and ODST to the WD BEVE, and have played both through with no hiccups whatsoever.
Kudos to everyone that coded, hex-edited and wrote all the tutorials for this process. Tried to find a MS branded 250 GB "old school" hard drive lately? They're getting hard to come by. And still spendy as hell when you do find them.
