At FrozenCPU they have 15W Blizzard Rheostat's. Would this rheostat require all the stuff that a LM317 Voltage Regulator kit would need (heatsinks, circuits, etc), or could I just wire up the 15W rheostat like they have here? I want the fan control, but I don't really feel like making all the associated stuff with the LM317 kits.

I would be running 2 Panaflow H1A's(at most 5.5W ..If I remember correctly) 120mm fans.

I've looked at the rheostat guides before, but I don't feel that I have a very good understanding of them. I just want something that is simple that I can wire up to control the fans.
