I'm just wondering if anybody here has seen an IBM 5100 for themselves.
As you already know it's featured in Steins;Gate as the "IBN 5100"
Are these computers common? do they have a big price tag? Curious as I wouldn't mind sticking one in my games/anime room (:

My grandpa might had one. But he's long dead.

By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!''

Costs around 300 dollars or more. Since it's just a collection piece, I suggest you don't buy the old piece of junk and stick to other merch.

I know Steins;Gate got their idea from John Titor, I was thinking of looking for one not just because the anime interests me, but so do older computers.
Speaking of John Titor, what do you think?

I don't want SERN going after me, so I'll abstain from commenting.

I haven't seen or read Steins;Gate yet, but is "SERN" supposed to be an allusion to CERN?

The answer to your question is in that article...

One could be social enough to answer a simple yes/no question with "yes" or "no"...
But yeah, thanks for pointing it out, I've found the corresponding passage:
CERN is depicted in the visual novel/anime series Steins;Gate as SERN, a shadowy organization that has been researching time travel in order to restructure and control the world.

with the help of ctrl+F. ;)

A man whose name was "John Titor" knocked on my door asking me if I had one.
