I disagree.
Why can't someone with, lets say, an old drummachine, 1 cheap
synthesizer, some guitar pedals and an 8 channel DJ mixer,
all together worth perhaps $400, make IDM seriously?!
In the end, the person controlling those machines will decide if its serious
IDM or not.
I mean when you listen to music and you find it good and then you
hear it is made using only an internal Commodore 64 soundchip, do you say
"well...I can't listen to this anymore beacause with such equip I will not
take this
seriously?"

Waaah! The rawness, that beautifull lo-fi distorted noise, it just sounds
incredibly warm & real. Would those squelching hihats on SAW 85-92 sound
the same if they were mixed on a 48 channel digital computer controlled mixer..?
Too much fidelity ruins a lot...
probably not.
