Welcome! We've been around nearly 12 years and in that time our customers have taught us a thing or two ...

Our philosophy has always been that our customers can use the computers as if they were their own. Let's be more specific. Where else can you do the following:

  • Have unrestricted use of the floppy and cd rom/DVD drives at no extra charge
  • Plug in and use your own USB devices on any machine at any time
  • Install your own hardware or software on any machine at any time at no extra charge
  • Print in colour or black and white direct from any desktop
  • Use sound and/or headphones, either your own or ours
  • Use microphone hi-res web cams, and any other hardware attached to the machine at no extra charge
  • Have completely unrestricted access to the net*, uploads, downloads and without annoying timer software
  • Use the machine knowing that it is protected from viruses at hardware level (invisible to you!)
  • Use the machine knowing that it is a completely 'clean' build thanks to our groundbreaking smartcard technology (again, invisible to the user)
  • Use the machine knowing it has all the latest plug ins, services, language packs etc.
  • Be served hot or cold food and drinks from our full menu directly at your PC, or even have a beer or two**

...all this as STANDARD! If you've used internet cafes elsewhere, you know how restricted they can be. Not so at Quarks!

Even if you have your own laptop and you'd like to plug in, you can. No problem.

And finally, don't forget all branches offer international calling cards, mobile top-up, scanning, faxing, cd burning and a wide range of computer related peripherals.

Even better, we're all really, really nice people, so you can always ask for help if you want to!
