“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!

I’m sure about five hundred of the three-hundred-something posts have said the same: Serenity.
2001: A Space Odyssey.
Thanks, Doc!
Serenity
i know it seems like a cliche – but “2001 A Space Odyssey” is so far ahead of it’s time and remains a great story 40 years later, that I have to choose it. Also the Blu-ray version kicks ass, it takes place in SPACE and there are storage devices referred to in the ship…
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Fifth Element.
Sunshine!
Definitely 2001 A Space Odyssey!
Another one for SPACEBALLS.
Sorry to be a spoiler, but Blade Runner was not a space sci-fi. It was a “robot” sci-fi.
2001 – A Space Idiocy
Gotta love 5th element
Blade Runner without a doubt!
WALL=E
The Fifth Element
Serenity for sure
2001: A Space Travesty, with good ol’ “Naked Gun” style comedy. Leslie Neisen is a fellow Canuck, too. 😀
taking place in space- the first Aliens
taking place on earth with a space creature- the first Preditor
Serenity. No other choice.
galaxy quest is a great movie
Star Wars!
Alien
Gotta go with Star Wars
I really liked Contact (probably because I’m a Jodie Foster fan).
The fifth element!!!
Spaceballs!!! It is funny and it’s the only one I can watch with my wife 🙂
Blade Runner
Star Wars IV and 2001. I cannot pick one over the other!
Star Trek 4 😀
Star Treck series! 🙂 Ciao! 🙂
Spaceballs!
Easily Serenity. If you haven’t seen it yet, go buy it. It’s worth the money and buying it’ll encourage them to make a sequel.
2001: A Space Odyssey
Definately Serenity 😀
Tough one…I liked the Alien movies the best.
Wall-E
the empire strikes back
Star Treck series. Ciao!
Star Wars
hate to be a jump on the bandwagon guy, but Serenity gets my vote as well.
Well, it HAS to be Alien. The original and best. Scared the life out of millions whilst providing enough spaceship-ness to satisfy the most critical sci-fi buff. Happy New Year!
Star Wars
2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey
Star Wars
Star Wars: A New Hope. Darth Vader boading the ship in the first scene was unforgettable for this 5 year old.
Star Wars Saga is the best ever! 🙂
What about Disney’s “The Black Hole?” Not my favorite, but it seemed like we’re just going for obscure at this point. My real vote goes to “The Empire Strikes Back.”
Event Horizon
Just messed up.
Need See Buckaroo Banzai!
