“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!
Spaceballs!
I’ve gotta go with Star Wars – the original holy trilogy.
Hitchhiker’s Guide, definitely.
I would have to go with ST2: The Wrath of Khan …
I can watch that over and over …
xmen
Even after George Lucas did his best to ruin my childhood memories, it’s still Star Wars for me.
for me it’s star trek: first contact- it is definitely the best of the trek movies so far.
Obvious and a bit trite I know but given the quality of Lucas these days, I long for the original “Star Wars” version off the laser disk….
I see a lot of votes for Serenity and I’m going to have to throw my hat in the same ring! 🙂
2001: A Space Odyssey
Definitely Space Balls.
Yeah, I don’t care if it was just a parody 😛
Entered
Spaceballs! Not sure if that counts for scifi for everyone else, but it does for me 🙂
2001. Coolest space movie ever.
Star Trek: First Contact
I am going to have to say any of the Star Wars movies. With Serenity and Starship troopers battling for second!
only 2 i can even name atm are Galaxy Quest and Contact
The best movie is: 2001, Space Odyssey
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062622/).
2001 space odyssey
The Empire Strikes Back.
It’s a tie between Star Wars, Serenity, and Sunshine.
Btw Doc, I REALLY NEED that hard drive. Like seriously. I’m down to kilobytes here.
2001: A Space Odyssey
Aliens rocks.
I liked Event Horizon, even though it was like a horror sci-fi space movie.
Back to the Future!!!
Definitely the WALL-E, or Gattaca!!!
Spaceballs
ill stick to wall-e
Battle Beyond teh Stars!
Star Trek Wrath of Khan
Aliens
Blade Runner: Director’s Cut
Stanley Kubrick space in 2001: A Space Odyssey is the best ever, for sure.
Plan 9 From Outer Space
the empire strikes back. hands down!
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Star Wars episode 4, A New Hope.
Star Wars
Wall*E
I have to agree that the original Star Wars Trilogy raised the bar for Space Sci-Fi. I do love Serenity, Star Trek, 2001, 2010, etc…The list goes on and on. I joked with my wife about Jason X and LMAO’d when I saw it listed. Anyway I have to commit myself to Star Wars FTW!
I really like back to the future!
Aliens
whenever I come across this on the box I find myself watching the whole thing again
Ice Pirates is the best
2001, clearly.
With question- Star Wars
Oops!
Without question-Star Wars!
Wall-E!!!!
Mine is the Star Wars Trilogy, cause as a kid it captured my imagination and monopolized it for many years to come! Thanks!
Star wars for sure.
But…
Space balls as well!
Another vote for SPACE BALLS.
