Interview with Pro-Modder Ban Nguyen
We sent Ban Nguyen, creator of epic mods such as the Diablo II ROG-TJ11 and the ROG Rampage, some questions to understand better what drives a modding genius. ROG: What got you into PC modding in the first place? Ban: A love of computers and all things computing. Then I started to mod out of this curiosity, and eventually I had modded everything about a PC. ROG: When did you start PC modding? Ban: I started PC modding from 2004, when I got my first PC. ROG: How many mods have you made? Ban: I've lost count. Very, very many projects. I honestly don't remember all of them as they are smaller mods, but big projects (like ROG Rampage and TJ11 Diablo III) took off about 2 years ago for me. Generally I don't have sponsorship for my mods though, so after each project is finished I take photos then take it apart and recycle the hardware. This is why my mods never yet travel or get displayed in shops or shows. ROG: What is your inspiration behind each mod?
Ban: My inspiration for work is just what I find and experience going through life. I just always think about doing something very different, very unique. To try something new inspires me. ROG: Your workshop looks well stocked in pictures! How big is it? Ban: I rent space in Ho Chi Minh City (my home town in the countryside of South Vietnam). The workshop is 12 meters by 3.2 meters. ROG: What is in future for your mods? Ban: In the future I use my developing skills and experience to just continue modding, but not only PC tech, but everything I can get my hands on. Of course I still love modding ROG things, and I have more projects to come with an ROG name. Thanks to Ban for his time answering our questions. For more information about his projects and mods visit our ROG modding forums or keep an eye on the ROG front page!
