“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!
2001: A Space Odyssey is the only one I’d even consider liking.
ALIENNNNN
Wait, Wait, Wait – Wall E!
Spaceballs
It’s difficult to say “best” without a frame of reference.
In some respects, I’d suggest Forbidden Planet as the best, if only because it laid the groundwork for almost everything that followed.
Sort of a space movie, and “best” in a skewed way is Lifeforce. After all, how can a movie with naked-babe-vampires from space turning London into zombies (including Patrick Stewart) be anything BUT extraordinary?
2001 — clearly amazing. Serenity — great fun. The Santa Claus Conquers the Martians — even the title rocks. Pitch Black — unexpectedly enjoyable. Close Encounters and ET — made aliens friendly again and even Mars Attacks! couldn’t take that away.
But the film that has sparked more imaginations and built the modern perception of the genre is clearly Star Wars (retronymed as Episode IV). So, I’d have to place my vote there.
Serenity
Got to be Gattaca! Or maybe Blade Runner! And Serenity? omg, I can’t pick!
OK, Blade Runner will do for me then! 🙂
“…like tears in the rain….we just fade away…”
BLADE RUNNER!!!
I want one Please!
Please I really need this for storage
The Forbidden Planet! Robby the Robot and a hot chick on an alien world! Awesome music using analog ring modulator synths, too. A true classic.
Gataca
Star Trek, The Movie, cuz my middle initial is T and my last name is KIRK, and sequels never equal the first movie.
Star Trek — First Contact.
My favourite SciFi movie, hands down.
Partick Stewart is unbeatable!
A Brit playing a Frenchman for over two decades?
It gets no tougher than this.
The Ewok Christmas show.
that shit was nuts.
2001 A Space Odyssey
star wars
Star Wars.
by far the best one is Office SPACE….
Empire Strikes Back.
Wall*E, if that isn’t that kind of films, then i’d choose Star Wars
Futurama ^^
(there is a movie so it counts right?)
Alien
Serenity
Alien or Aliens, can’t decide 🙂
any star wars of course!
Probably Return of the Jedi. That, or Star Wars Ep. 2.
Serenity just wasn’t good enough for Firefly. 🙁
The Last Starfighter (1984)
Solaris. But the original version, not the Hollywood remake.
Space Balls
Star Wars for me.
Futurama?
I don’t know about scifi but space jam is sweet
I’m going to have to go with Empire Strikes Back
2001: a space odyssey
Star Gate SG-1
i would say bladerunner, but its not a space movie, so i will have to go with star wars. changed my young life.
Shit sorry, I thought just Sci-Fi HG2G then
Going to have to go with the masses and agree that 2001 is the best.
Hard question this one.. but I’m definitely gonna go with
StarWars Episode VII
Serenity
2001 – A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey for me.
Star Wars.
Star Wars !!!
not the best, but i recommend 1998 sphere taken from the novel by michael crichton, with cast like dustin hoffman, sharon stone, samuel l jackson, and queen latifah
The Matrix. Both for the story and the technical innovations!
Star Wars 🙂
Back to the future II FTW!!!
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
