230volts, thats entirely different matter, most likely its 3 phase AC and no resistor is going to slow this baby down. AC powered motors speed can not be changed, they operate by locking the rotor to the line frequency or some multiple of it. Ok if your really determined it can be done, but its cheaper to buy an entire new motor. As a cpu cooler I would skip on this, its way to big, pulls way to much power and would turn your rig into a giant ice cube. Now that you have this giant ice cube, you turn it on and it begins to melt from the inside, since the outside is kept freezing by the big compressor the inside is in liquid due to the heat generated by the cpu and video card etc. So now your running your system in very cold water. Hmmm! this doesn't seem to be a real good idea, but look on the brite side, you don't have to worry about condensation.
