“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!
Star Wars, the original, for sheer originality at the time. Empire is better as a movie but lags slightly behind because it wasn’t first
Star Wars
It has to be Ice Pirates. Has there ever been better campy sci-fi fun I ask?!
Star Wars
Back To The Future is Sci-fi, right? Time travel involves the space time continuum!
WALL.e
How come no one has said Stargate? Oh, right, it wasn’t that great…
I’m going with Star Trek: Generations… it may not be the best Sci-Fi Space movie ever, but I do enjoy it a lot.
Wall-E. Love that movie.
2001 A Space Odissey
Still hard to beat. Precise science, great art. The big questions put in a mythical way, without the religious crap, but with lots of spirituality, this is what SciFi is ought to be.
Star Wars…
star wars duh!
I’d have to say 2001: A Space Odyssey
STAR TREK INSURECTION
Fahrenheit 451
Event Horizon is a menacing story indeed, then there’s is Strange Days, and of course Minority Report
WALL-e
Yep, Serenity
This is a tough one and while I agree serenity rocks, it was the 2 hour end of a show cancelled before it’s time I miss fire fly. The same with the star trek series, bsg, SG1 and sgA. I’m surprised no one brought up space 1999 ( those shuttles are about ten years beyond what we can do) or something a bit darker like space above and beyond. so for a true sci-fi movie….lets go with the day the earth stood still though i could name dozens others just as good
Serenity
Space Balls
Serenity
Galaxy Quest.
Solyaris, the Russian version.
Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, both versions are brilliant
Serenity.
BTW, what’s up with so many people saying Back to the Future? Did that movie have anything to do at all with outer space or am I just forgetting?
It’s a close one, between Serenity and Star Wars: A New Hope.
Apples and Oranges.
OK, Serenity.
Have to go for the classic STARWARS
ps wont firewire not work on the new mbp?
I really liked The Postman with Kevin Costner, it was long but not bad at all!
If Wall-E doesn’t count, then I’m going to have to say Serenity too.
Star Trek or Star Wars. Depends on the person and mood. Trust me, I worked at Blockbusters
Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi!
Terminator 2
The Black Hole.
Go Canada!
Earth Girls Are Easy.
Going to have to concur with all the others who chose Serenity
Aliens
Blade Runner started it all!!!!
Not exactly a space movie in the traditional sense, but the first sci-fi movie I saw was Contact, which is what led me to want to be an astronomer!
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
I’d say Wall-E.
blade runner
Any Star Wars film!
2001 – A Space Odyssey
Wrath Of Kahn. Done.
Flash Gordon
“Tron”, the space within.
2001
Sunshine is the best space movie ever because while it is set in space, it has a moral grounding and is grounded in a possible reality
Alien
Have to go with Serenity, nothing to dislike about that one!
