“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 6
[Thank you, we have our winner. This contest is closed. Congratulations to faithful Macenstein reader RandomPerson]
On the Sixth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A 320GB OWC Mercury On-The-Go Oxford924 FireWire 800&400+USB2 5400RPM 8MB Cache Portable SATA 2.5″ based Storage Solution
“Huh?”
That’s a fancy way of saying “hard drive”, dummy! And a big one too (at least storage-wise – at 320 GB!). Physically, it’s actually quite small and fits easily in your laptop bag inside its included carrying case. I have 2 of these, and I love them – perfect for running Time Machine on my MacBook Pro.
Above: Palm-sized, FireWire 400/800, and USB 2 connections, a cool carrying case and cables included! What more could you want?
Finally! Now you have no excuse not to back up your laptop (you know you’re not doing it).
The OWC Mercury On-The-Go FireWire 800/400 + USB 2.0 Portable Kit packs an incredible punch into a 3″Wx5.5″Lx1″H 11 ounce package!
If you’re looking for one of the most compatible mass storage solutions made, look no further! The OWC Mercury On-The-Go drive is all you’ll need! Packing a one-two punch of super fast FireWire 800 and USB 2.0, the OWC Mercury On-The-Go has what it takes to truly work cross platform.
The OWC Mercury On-The-Go keeps everything running silent while still keeping your drive cool with a built in aluminum heatsink underneath the hard drive, and passthrough cooling vents on the top of the case.
The OWC Mercury On-The-Go drive uses the latest Oxford chipset, the 924, for both FireWire 800/400 and USB 2.0. Designed to work with SATA hard drives, this chipset is the latest evolution of the best performing FireWire chipsets on the market.
FireWire/1394 makes it easy, OWC Mercury makes it faster! With transfer rates of up to 800mbs, plug and play connection, and professional level FireWire software, you will not go wrong with an OWC Mercury FireWire Drive.
To enter: Since the Mercury On-The-Go is all about space (both storage, and not physically taking up much), leave us a comment telling us what you think is the best Sci-Fi Space movie ever. Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
Serenity, because I looooved Firefly.
“Serenity” takes the cake for me.
Any of the Star Trek movies!!
that makes 3 for Serenity.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture…
Hands down:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Star Wars raised the bar for me!
Star Wars Sague… Love Princess Amidala!!
Any of the Aliens movies.
Serenity for me
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? that’s the best I can do with a space movie … sorry 🙂
Serenity
Back To The Future Trilogy
Sunshine.
Not sure it was the best, but it made you think a bit.
Serenity
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
I was a kid when I watched it for the first time, and it was COOL!
Back to the Future isn’t space! =) Serenity all the way. Firefly was awesome and died too soon, and the greatest voice in Science Fiction (Orson Scott Card) said it was the best science fiction movie of all time!
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (the movie)
2001: A Space Odyssey
I’m going to have to jump on the bandwagon and agree with “Serenity” I was going to say “2001” because it’s a ‘classic’ but Serenity was just so damn good…
Spaceballs. No question.
I want to jump on the Serenity bandwagon, but I’m going with Bladerunner.
STAR WARS!!!!!!!!
Silent running.
most wouldn’t of heard of it, its an older one, but one of the best SCI FI movies I ever watched, very heart breaking ending.
i know i cant win this competition as its only offered to US residents, but thought id pipe in anyway 🙂
P.S: the chick from serenity/terminator chronicles , ohhhh baby 🙂
Serenity!
i have to say 2001 for me… possibly will change when j.j. abrams’ star trek comes out soon.
although i wasn’t a cloverfield fan…
Does Spaceballs count?
Either way I choose that!
Ice Pirates!!! Hahahah
Jason X
Actually Alien.
Empire Strikes Back.
2001: A Space Odyssey without a doubt
Start Wars 3
It is so hard to pick! There are too many movies to choose from.
Blade Runner Directors Cut…
I’m going to say that the best space movie is Event Horizon, simply for the fact that a friend of mine got extreme motion sickness during the opening scene and threw up in the theater. That’s real filmmaking right there.
Serenity… It’s what made my fiance finally fall in love w/ sci-fi.
Yo definitely space balls!
I’m not a big fan of Star Wars or Star Trek and I haven’t heard of the others so…
WALL-E
Robot Chaplin in Space FTW!
2001: A Space Odyssey. Simple. Amazing. Simply amazing.
star wars
I would have to say Serenity as well.
2001: a space odyssey. totally.
If I had to choose, it would be one of the Star Wars…
2001 space odyssey
2001: a space odyssey
Stargate
Lost In Space!!! Matt LeBlanc is the best!!!!
The original Star Wars (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi) are my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time as they not only got me hooked on both practical and fictional science but also helped push me into pursuing a career in animation and visual effects. I still recall sitting in a cardboard box with my little brother pretending it was the Millennium Falcon with us blasting our way through a fleet of Star Destroyers 🙂
Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan
Star Trek: First Contact
Serinity, of course.
The best sci-fi movie ever has got to be Star Wars, episode 4, A New Hope.
