“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!
star trek movie
I vote for stargate, too, particularly for the serie !
It was really great 🙂
Alien. …mostly…
I think the best is: The Chronicles of Riddick.
2001: A Space Oddyssey
Does “Forbidden Planet” count as a space movie? It’s on an alien planet!
WALL-E is the best
2001: A Space Odyssey.
With Alien tetralogy closing in.
2001: A Space Odyssey
When theyre floating through space and Bach’s music is playing, thats the best part of the movie
i just watched Serenity from my MBP and I absolutely love it. I still have to watch Firefly but for now Serenity takes the cake. 🙂
i like Stargate too
Serenity
It’s got to be 2001: A Space Odyssey.
You can’t do better than the best – Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick. Masterpiece.
Blade Runner, without a doubt.
I have to go with Star Wars… 2001: A Space Odyssey is good but…
Second on stargate.
Hum… Plan Nine From Outer Space?
Oh no, wait, the question was about the BEST sci-fi movie… Then I would have to say 2001 A Space Odyssey
Back to the Future trilogy.
Contact ftw!
Aliens is the best of the series.
i would say Gattaca
Aliens
(The second one)
OK, so we know Spaceballs rocked; H2G2 did a good job with a great set of stories; 2001 set the bar; and Star Trek movies outlasted the series. Gotta like The Fifth Element: Bruce Willis shootin’ up spaceships and dumb space bad guys. Can’t forget Milla Jovovich… what’s not to like? Still, Star Wars movies added tremendously realistic CG and character development to the genre so Star Wars!
“Aliens!”
Star Wars
I always have been fascinated by Star Trek and Jean Luc Piclard
WALL-E
2001: A Space Odyssey
Star Wars
2001: a space odyssey
The best sci-fi movie is, in my opinion Wall-E. It has it all; robots, romance, spaceships, music, explosions, satire, depth, accessibility, and, above all, APPLE REFERENCES!!! Wall-E has an iPod, makes the Mac boot chime, and Pixar had Jony Ive help design Eve. In fact, it’s the film Wall-E that got me to, eventually, switch to Mac. However, that’s a story for another time…. Thanks for the opportunity to win this hard drive, Doc!
sunshine was legit.
I will have to go with “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”. Don’t forget, the answer is 42.
Of course the original Star Wars…
One of my all time favourites is – First Men in the Moon
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058100/
It has classic stamped all over it. Go watch it now – you can thank me later.
Serenity
Gonna have to go with Aliens (director’s cut). Yeah!
Serenity FTW!
I’m like the majority here… Star Wars I.
BTW Wall-e isn’t sci-fi movie… It’s a story for kids, isn’t it?
A Boy And His Dog
I really liked Sunshine for some reason.
2001: a space odyssey
Aliens.
2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey
cow boy bebop the movie
Silent Running
