Ok, so if I have a 6W fan, then I should look for a Rheo that is at least 3W?
And when the Rheostat is turned all the way up (no resistance), then it's letting through as many Watts as the fan will pull, or as many as it's rated at?
If it's letting through as many as the fan will pull, and it's only rated at half the Watts, then what? it gets hot? nothing happens? What?
Well, anyways, if I need to look for a Rheo that is at least 3W, then I'll go to RadioShack tomorow and see what I can find.
