On my keyboard, you get it with Shift and the key just left of the spacebar
That key has ` and ~ on it

If nothing else works, with NumLock ON, press Alt126.
That will give you ~~~~.

But, on my Saitek keyboard, it is the upper case of the key to the immediate left of 1. It is the same place on my Lenovo T60 laptop, and my IBM USB keyboard.
