Well I picked up some 25W 1 ohm resistors today - they burn off plenty of power - especially if I use two of them in parallel. But they get damn hot! Duh! They come in a ceramic package - wonder why (scarcastically). I wonder if oven elements are made out similar materials.

In order to keep the temps on those tolerable (so I don't burn myself), I strapped two onto a celeron slot one heatsink I had laying around, and added a fan. But where should I put this heat producing package now? I was thinking inside the P/S, but it's just a bit too big.

But I know 50W of lights would be hot as well. Oh well.
