Building A Future Proof PC
I am extremely pleased with the work Mark has done. After explaining that I needed to update my desktop PC in order to speed up and increase my efficiency in carrying out a combination of video editing tasks and producing detailed graphics. I also needed a machine that would provide a lot more storage. As an integral part of his professionalism, Mark took time to see the PC I was using and make himself more fully aware of my needs. Consequently, Mark put together a detailed estimate which with a little tweak met my needs. Once the ordered parts arrived the PC was built and thoroughly tested according to the schedule set out in the estimate. With little fuss, Mark installed my new high-end PC and transferred the data from my previous machine. This whole process took just over a week which was brilliant. I now have a future-proof PC that not only suits my needs and is working superbly. After having looked at a range of off-the-shelf PCs none of them provided the components I needed. I certainly would strongly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a highly competent, enthusiastic, honest and pleasant technician capable of building a PC.

Always an Excellent Service
I have used the services of Mark at Insomnia IT Systems for well over 12 years and during this time he has serviced our computers and built my son 2 gaming computers. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, patient and professional. Whenever we have required his service he has been prompt and extremely efficient. I would highly recommend him.

Quality Local Service
I had started to experience increasing problems with my desktop computer, worryingly they seemed to be getting worse. A web search lead me to Mark, who happily lives only a short distance away. The first response to my contact was prompt and we arranged a meeting at my house. There is, of course, a huge gap regarding knowledge between an expert like Mark, and an enthusiastic but basic user such as myself. However, Mark was able to patiently and professionally explain the problem and what solutions might be available. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Mark for advice on computers.

So glad I contacted Mark
I'm not the worlds best with IT and spotted Marks sign written van whilst driving. He came to my home to look at the problems I was having with my laptop, he was punctual and very polite. Mark patiently explained the problem in a way I could understand and showed me what was wrong. He carried out a temporary fix and explained I would soon need a new laptop. Although he could supply a new one he explained to me what I should look for and at my request sent me a quote for him to supply one. The price and specification he quoted was very good compared with high street retailers and so I bought one from him - so glad I did. He delivered the new one and swapped all my information off the old one so I was ready to go as well as explaining the aftercare service I would receive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark as he is professional, honest, friendly and obviously very competent at what he does - simply brilliant service.

Mark custom built a new computer for me to meet my specific needs. He installed it and transferred all my files and software and solved a number of follow up issues for me.

Last legs PC
My old desk top PC was on it's last legs had just about run out of memory. Looking for some one to trust to get me back working is a challenge at times. Thankfully after reading reviews chose Mark. He was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. We agreed a way forward and he built me a new PC to my requirements. Delivered it on time transferred the data from my dead computer to the new one in my home. I have a very old Microsoft window program which I still use but is no longer supported by Microsoft. He managed to load it for me and I'm now working with Windows 11. Brilliant !!! The cost was very competitive and I have exactly what I need. Great -- many thanks very happy

Mark came to sort out a number of problems for a desktop we bought in 2014. He was bang on time took the computer away and returned it to "as new"
Excellent 5 star service and his skill and diagnostics was first class! we had condemned the desktop but he fixed it for a very reasonable price and at least one third of the cost of a replacement. We are so impressed we have signed up for his tech support and can sleep at night knowing he is a phone call away from helping us and responds within the hour to help!

This was just the latest job Mark has done for me over the last number of years. Essentially as parts failed or needed an upgrade Mark has done the work such that other than one drive and the power it's a whole new system! He is quick to respond, knows his business, gets on with it as fast as you can in the current parts climate and how anybody can give less than 5*'s for value is beyond me. I can usually find fault but not here, recommended!! The reviews speak for themselves

Apple Mac repair
I was very apprehensive choosing a technician to look at my Apple Mac which I had inadvertently wiped the hard drive completely just before Christmas, Had a real struggle to find a repairer in my immediate area, so looked on the internet and found Marks web sight. I did notice the ' Which ' accredited label on the page (which made me feel a little more comfortable ringing him). Mark agreed to visit me and arrived dead on time, was wearing full mask and protective gloves. I explained my problem in depth, He carried out a full assessment and then gave me the options open to me, I asked him to do an updated install and to sort the connection to one of my printers. He did a great job and I cannot speak highly enough about his attitude throughout the repairs, ( although I did say to him I would be happy to not see him again !!) I would not hesitate to use Mark again and now have a little more peace of mind if I ever need a computer repair again.

Mark discussed the changes with the computer during the set up and left us a contact number and e.mail address if we had any problems. Choosing someone you have never met to work on personal information can be quite worrying, but I can honestly say that I would highly recommend Mark he is a true professional. Mark also used a face mask and social distanced whilst he was in our home. Thank you so much Mark

Great work and felt involved and informed
Mark responded promptly to my request for a new computer & we reviewed what I used the equipment for so that I only purchased what I need rather than what was available. He issued the quote promptly and then installed as agreed. He provided training on it’s use and left me feeling empowered and confident. My previous experience was that you bought a computer “off the shelf” I now know that you need expertise like Mark’s to provide an effective computer. The only thing that is a “downside” of the new computer is it is so quick! No time to make a coffee whilst it is switching on! Highly recommended.
