If you absolutely need it ASAP, drive the 3 hours to Riverfront Plaza in Chicago. Otherwise, plan ahead and use online retailers.

  It’s more the browsing factor. I typically don’t know what I need, and it’s much easier to get a feel for my options when I can see the variety up close.

    As I don't live in Indy or Chicago any more, I don't have any good solutions for you. I-65 isn't that bad a drive, and the windmills give you a nice eco-green feeling, even if the rest areas aren't so great. The Greek Islands restaurant used to regularly drive a van to Chicago and back, because Kronos wouldn't ship their beef-lamb doner kebab cones for vertical gyro rotisseries all the way to Indy, so they were about the only place in town you could get a real gyro. I guess it's about the same for electronics. You could maybe ask around the IUPUI or Purdue electronics engineering professors, or the robotic therapy/prosthetics lab at the IU hospital.

      > and the windmills give you a nice eco-green feeling, Lol, driving 6 hours to browse a store and getting an eco-green feeling.

        Was the hyperbole not hyperbolic enough? I-65 from Indy to Chicago is as boring as an electric auger with no off switch.
