Just put the resistors in parallel and series arrangement to get the ohmic value you want. I even have some 12v fans to aid in cooling. PM me if interested.

I remember from electronics class in highschool that running resistors in parallel will usually come up with an oddball ohm rating, and there was some confusing math involved with it that i never understood. I know it is easier math when the resistors are the same, but it was when they were different and run in parallel is where it got really strange.
