Resistors

I'm doing some experimentation and I could do with getting my hands on a 150W 0.2 Ohm resistor. I could buy one for £20 but I'm not sure that it will work in my circuit or be too powerful.
Are there any common devices around the house that might contain powerful resistors which can handle power in the 150 W range?

Maybe old PC, Computer, amplifier etc?

I might have a few resistors rated to 50W. Not sure on the Ohm rating. From old angel lights/fog lights kits.

Thanks
