3 DAS TKL Boards for 89.99 each (Blue and brown switches)
3 Razers

Like most of electronics Woot sells, these are factory refurbished.

I can't really speak for the Das boards, but the 4C seems to not be as well received as the regular 4  :( . These use Gaterons IIRC. I think I got to use a 4C once, definitely don't like it as much as the regular 4 Professional.

The Razer BlackWidow Mac should have MX Blues. The 2014 edition BWU of course will have Kailh greens; the regular BWU is already sold out.

Prices aren't really that great.

Greetech, not Gateron. Greetechs are cheaper.

How cheap are they? Well, here's a reference point. You could get the reconditioned Das 4c with Greetech switches for $90, or, via Massdrop, you could spend $70 to get a brand new RK RG987, also with Greetech switches, but also with doubleshot keycaps and RGB backlighting. Both are made in China, and neither has a great reputation for quality (but, for the price of a new Das 4c and a few dollars more, you could buy two RG987s and just swap in the second one when the first one breaks).
