Brushed aluminum case, looks like Kailh switches... How can these be as cheap as RD boards?

If the case is actually aluminum, it might be worth the money for reuse.

The same seller also has it in black http://www.ebay.com/itm/ViewSonic-KU520-Mechanical-Keyboard-87-Backlit-Black-Switch-Black-/401081848993?hash=item5d625754a1 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ViewSonic-KU520-Mechanical-Keyboard-87-Backlit-Black-Switch-Black-/401081848993?hash=item5d625754a1) which I think looks better and is also $10 more....
