I'm looking for a cheap way to get a 20 watt resistor !

Wirewound are huge, longer than my board.

Aluminum cased will probably be best as I can mount it remote, to the
side of the enclosure.

Thick film are about the same cost as the aluminum heat sink type,
but are small enough to put on the board.

Decisions...
