50 ohm rheostat for fan speed control

I'm modding the case fans with rheostats to make the speed adjustable. Any idea where I can get a 3-5 W 50 ohm rheostat?

RadioShack.com lists them but doesn't seem to have them in stock, my local Radio Shack only had one 25 ohm and as I expected this wasn't enough for an 80mm fan (although probably enough when I get my 120mm in).
 
We'll, there's a great general electronic's shop near where I live where I get stuff like that...but I wouldnt know about you 🙁

Just look for some other electronics stores; theres bound to be more than just radio shack!
 
Checked digikey.com already, they list them as out of stock. Guess I'll wait until Radio Shack or digikey has them in, in the meantime perhaps I can find a good electronics place somewhere around here.
