Golden Field, a Chinese PC case manufacturer, has launched two innovative PC cases under its Qingyao series, the NANO and LITE models, drawing direct inspiration from the sleek and modern design of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Founders Edition graphics cards. These cases, recently introduced on the Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com, combine aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, catering to gamers and PC builders who admire the iconic look of NVIDIA’s Blackwell-based GPUs. With competitive pricing and thoughtful design, the Qingyao NANO and LITE cases are poised to make a splash in the PC building community, particularly in China, where RTX 50 Founders Edition cards are highly sought after but often difficult to obtain.
Qingyao NANO / LITE
The standout feature of the Golden Field Qingyao NANO and LITE cases is their front panel, meticulously crafted to mirror the shroud design of NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Founders Edition graphics cards. These cards, built on the Blackwell architecture and released on January 30, 2025, feature a distinctive aesthetic with a ventilated, angular look that emphasizes both style and airflow. Golden Field has replicated this design ethos, creating cases that not only complement RTX 50 GPUs visually but also enhance the overall aesthetic of a gaming or workstation build. The front panels are not just cosmetic; they are engineered for high airflow, ensuring optimal cooling for high-performance components.
The cases are available in a sleek all-black finish, aligning with the premium and modern vibe of NVIDIA’s Founders Edition cards. This design choice makes them an ideal match for enthusiasts looking to create a cohesive, visually striking PC build. The resemblance is so striking that some have speculated these cases could pass for NVIDIA-branded products if the company ever ventured into PC chassis manufacturing.

NANO version / LITE version
The LITE model is the larger sibling, offering greater depth to accommodate longer GPUs, up to 420 mm, making it suitable for even the beefiest RTX 50 series cards, including the RTX 5090. Its enhanced cooling capacity, with support for up to twelve 120 mm fans and a 360 mm radiator, makes it ideal for high-performance builds where thermal management is critical. Both models feature quick-release side panels for easy access and maintenance, a feature appreciated by builders who frequently tweak their systems.
The launch of these cases taps into the popularity of NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Founders Edition cards, which are particularly coveted in China despite limited availability. NVIDIA restricts the sale of these cards in the region, with the RTX 5070 and RTX 5080 Founders Edition models primarily available through JD.com, where they often sell out quickly. Golden Field’s Qingyao series fills a niche for enthusiasts who want to emulate the Founders Edition aesthetic in their builds, offering an affordable and stylish solution.
Priced at 179 Yuan ($25 USD) for the NANO and 219 Yuan ($30 USD) for the LITE, these cases are remarkably cost-effective, especially when compared to the high cost of RTX 50 series GPUs, such as the RTX 5090, which retails for $1,999. This affordability, combined with their unique design, makes the Qingyao cases an attractive option for budget-conscious builders who still want a premium look and solid performance.
