“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!
Dave, stop. Stop, will you? I am afraid.. My mind is going, I can feel it.
The tragic death of HAL 9000
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, no doubt it’s the best. terry pratchett really knows his stuff
Stargate
Best space movie: Spaceballs. Without a doubt.
“They’ve gone plaid!”
The Empire Strikes Back
Battlefield Earth.
Oh, you said the BEST movie.
Then definitely Blade Runner.
Starship Troopers!!! Oh boy! 🙂
Star Wars – without a doubt!
I think the best Sci-Fi movie would probably be The Matrix..different kind of Sci-Fi movie, but one of the best of all times
Blade Runner, or if that’s not spacey enough,
the original Day the Earth Stood Still
Since I am also monitored to respond to the name “Robby,” I’ll have to go with Forbidden Planet also.
2001 was pretty good too, however.
Hate to be a cliche’, but I followed Firefly all the way through its tortured existence ……… Serenity now.
Gattaca…it counts, because they go into space at the end.
If not, I would say Star Trek 2.
All the Species movies. I mean who could resist hot alien women trying to take over the world by having sex. Natasha Henstridge….mmmmmm…….
Star Wars aka Episode IV: A New Hope
The Fifth Element
the diva’s performance in it is one of my favorite moments, aside from the flying cars.
Ice Pirates!!!!
Star Wars Saga
Even though I love Serenity I have to say
Star Wars – Episode IV
empire strikes back
A New Hope. Saw it 20 times in the 70’s and maybe that many more when the Special Edition came out….
For me : Event Horizon
Spaceballs!!!
“2001: A Space Odyssey” Hands down
2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey
I love Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, the only truly ‘kooky’ movie.
Alien
Galaxy Quest
E.T. Ouuuuuuuuuucchhhhhhhhhhhh
2001 Space Odyssey
“Plan 9 From Outer Space,” of course!
Star Wars
Contact
Space Balls
Empire Strikes Back!
Buckaroo Bonzai… a movie no one will watch with me.
But Christopher Lloyd as John Bigbooty… what’s not to like?
er, the original star wars trilogy!
Empire Strikes Back is the standard by which all others are judged!!!!
Serenity
(Doesn’t Bladerunner take place on Earth? In the future but Earth?)
The Fifth Element is one of my favorites.
I like the one where the large black robot guy cuts off the skinny white guys hand, tells him who is baby daddy is and throws him down a hole.
an ancient mexican movie… it narrates our superiority and how two mexican astronauts go to the moon unleashing a culture in the whole mexico of education, good manners and incredible fast technological advance.
jajajajaja I swear its a really good saga even better than star wars
Spaceballs. Period.
The Last Star Fighter
Great movie, and still a classic!
The original The Day the Earth Stood Still, will have to check out the remake of it.
The Empire Strikes Back
Wow, there are so many really good ones.
Serenity is great,
I also like a couple of the Star Trek and the older Star Wars.
back to the future
The day the earth stood still, the original not the new remake.
