Depends on the speed you want. Try each resistor in series with the fan, and see which airflow you like the best.

For most average PSU fans (rated 0.12~0.18A), you can get a decent range of different speeds with a resistor between 10 and 100 ohms, with 10 ohms making the fan run at almost full speed and 100 ohms at around half speed.

The resistors you have are 100 ohms, 51 ohms, and 180 ohms.

He won't be able to answer that question, since he's banned permanently afik. I think it might have been in relation to that apology thread.
